I am using jenkins on my local system and added an android emulator plugin but it is giving me error for the outdated SDK.

Answer 1

I'm dealing with the exactly same issue on ubuntu server now. What I've done - manually downloaded sdk tools and installed them in my /usr/lib/android-sdk folder

• wget -O sdk-tools.zip https://dl.google.com/android/repository/commandlinetools-linux-6609375_latest.zip
• sudo apt install unzip
• unzip sdk-tools.zip

and this issue disappeared on jenkins for me now.
