Failed to run sdkmanager –list with Java 9

by

With the help of this answer, I successfully solved the problem.

We are going to apply a fix in sdkmanager. It is a shell script. It is located at $android_sdk/tools/bin, where $android_sdk is where you unzipped the Android SDK.

  1. Open sdkmanager in your favorite editor.

  2. Locate the line which sets the DEFAULT_JVM_OPTSvariable. In my copy, it is at line 31:

    DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS='"-Dcom.android.sdklib.toolsdir=$APP_HOME"'

  3. Append the following options to the variable: -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee. Please pay attention to the quotes. In my copy, the line becomes:

    DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS='"-Dcom.android.sdklib.toolsdir=$APP_HOME" -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee'
  4. Save the file and quit the editor.
  5. Run the command again.

Here is the result:

$ sdkmanager --list
Installed packages:
  Path    | Version | Description              | Location
  ------- | ------- | -------                  | ------- 
  tools   | 26.0.1  | Android SDK Tools 26.0.1 | tools/  

Available Packages:
  Path                              | Version      | Description                      
  -------                           | -------      | -------

  add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-16 | 4            | Google APIs                      
  add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-17 | 4            | Google APIs                      
  add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-18 | 4            | Google APIs                      
  add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-19 | 20           | Google APIs                      
  add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-21 | 1            | Google APIs                      
  add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-22 | 1            | Google APIs                      
  add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-23 | 1            | Google APIs                      
  add-ons;addon-g..._apis-google-24 | 1            | Google APIs
...

Hola! It works!

Please note that you may need to apply the fix above again after running sdkmanager --update, since the sdkmanager shell script may be overridden if the tools package is updated.
