Getting Android sdkmanager to run with Java 11

by

UPDATE: as explained in another answer, the sdkmanager from the new command line tool supports JDK 11+. The old sdkmanager has not received updates in years, so this workaround should not be necessary. Check @dmertins answer for links and more details.

If anyone is looking for a Linux fix on Java 11. I built this on top of previous answers

cd Android/tools
mkdir jaxb_lib
wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/activation/activation/1.1.1/activation-1.1.1.jar -O jaxb_lib/activation.jar
wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/sun/xml/bind/jaxb-impl/2.3.3/jaxb-impl-2.3.3.jar -O jaxb_lib/jaxb-impl.jar
wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/sun/istack/istack-commons-runtime/3.0.11/istack-commons-runtime-3.0.11.jar -O jaxb_lib/istack-commons-runtime.jar
wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/glassfish/jaxb/jaxb-xjc/2.3.3/jaxb-xjc-2.3.3.jar -O jaxb_lib/jaxb-xjc.jar
wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/glassfish/jaxb/jaxb-core/2.3.0.1/jaxb-core-2.3.0.1.jar -O jaxb_lib/jaxb-core.jar
wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/glassfish/jaxb/jaxb-jxc/2.3.3/jaxb-jxc-2.3.3.jar -O jaxb_lib/jaxb-jxc.jar
wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/xml/bind/jaxb-api/2.3.1/jaxb-api-2.3.1.jar -O jaxb_lib/jaxb-api.jar

After the download finishes (make sure all files were downloaded OK), you have to edit sdkmanager and avdmanager scripts in the tools/bin directory. You can do this manually or automatically.

From Simon Ruggier answer (doesn’t work on mac unless you use gnu-sed):

sed -ie 's%^CLASSPATH=.*%\0:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/*%' bin/sdkmanager bin/avdmanager

Or manually, scroll down to the CLASSPATH variable, and add the new jars we just downloaded like this:

CLASSPATH=$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/activation.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-impl.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-xjc.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-core.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-jxc.jar:$APP_HOME/jaxb_lib/jaxb-api.jar:<etc etc...DO NOT REMOVE THE OTHER JARS!...>
