"Android SDK installation is missing necessary packages" - but it is not!

[JoeCFD]

@SeDi Click SDK Manager button to install Platform SDK.

@JoeCFD Thank you for your answer, but that was exactly what I had done - tried and tried all over again. The solution came now with vigorously erasing all of AndroidSDK, upgrading Creator. Now it works!! I'll probably never know why it didn't before. :-)

It fixed by deleting a cmdline-tools directory from SDK directory

I'm facing some issues trying to build QGC v4.3 to Android.

I've checked into Android SDK folder names and versions, everything is ok. Take a loook:

And that's my Qt Creator SDKs setup:

QtCreator version 18.0.0
Windows 10

I've tried delete Android SDK folder
Reinstall JDK11
Update Qt Creator
Delete cmdline-tools folder from Android SDK

Any help is appreciated!

@AlexandreM hey bro , how do you fix this bug???

This fixed it for me on Ubuntu 22.04 and Qt Creator 20.0.1.

• close Qt Creator
• Get this version of command line tools: commandlinetools-linux-14742923_latest.zip
• extract it somewhere so you have its cmdline-tools extracted folder
• move the existing "latest" command line tools, ex: mv ~/Android/Sdk/cmdline-tools/latest ~/Android/Sdk/cmdline-tools/latest_UNUSED
• move the extracted cmdline-tools to latest, ex: mv cmdline-tools ~/Android/Sdk/cmdline-tools/latest
• open Qt Creator, go back to Edit -> Preferences -> SDKs -> Android tab
• enjoy as it now properly detects everything

Not sure if it matters but I'm using OpenJDK 17 as well.

Countless times I removed ~/Android and reinstalled it using Qt Creator and/or Android Studio.
This specific version of commandline tools was the only thing that fixed it for me.

@Meliodas Thank you for your answer. I fixed this problem from your answer.

I downloaded this zip file as follows.

Thank you once again.

similar issue for me on macOS
JDK 21

Qt 6.11.1 with included QtC 20.0 and Tools downloaded using QtC
tools contained cmdline-tools 20.0
all works perfect

Qt 6.12 Beta 3 with included QtC 20.0.1
tools contained cmdline-tools 23.0
error: packages not found

selecting tools w cmdline-tools 20.0: no errors

so I have a workaround for now - but should be fixed
so I opened issue https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTCREATORBUG-34905

Edit: THX to AI found out: with cmdline-tools 23, SDKManager is deprecated and replaced by Android CLI. Probably we have to wait until QtCreator supports Android CLI and in the meantime using cmdline-tools < 23

Issue 34905 now gets P1 priority - so hopefully soon fixed

[ekkescorner]

verified wit QtCreator 20.0.2 snapshot https://download.qt.io/snapshots/qtcreator/20.0/20.0.2/664/ - it’s working now :)
