HOW TO PROXY AUTHENTICATE THE ANDROID SDK FOR DOWNLOADING PACKAGES??????

[Aakash Sigdel]

Does any one know HOW TO PROXY AUTHENTICATE THE ANDROID SDK FOR DOWNLOADING
PACKAGES??????

I downloaded the sdk and
tried to install the packages. But guess what i cannot download them.
cuz the sdk doesn't have a proxy authentication. so can anyone plz
help me with this.

Things I have already tried

1.)
In android.bat i edited as follows:

 rem Finally exec the java program and end here.
call %java_exe% -Dcom.android.sdkmanager.

toolsdir="%tools_dir%" -
Dcom.android.sdkmanager.workdir=%work_dir% -Dhttp.proxyUsername="DOMAIN
\USER" -Dhttp.proxyPassword="PASSWORD" -classpath "%jar_path%;%swt_path
%\swt.jar" com.android.sdkmanager.Main %*

2.)
I tried proxy tunneling using your-Freedom.

3.)
In C:\users\<user_name>\.android\androidtool.cfg
i made changes:
### Settings for Android Tool
#Thu Apr 28 09:44:00 IST 2011
http.proxyPort=my_port
http.proxyLogin=my_username@password
http.proxyHost=my_host
sdkman.ask.adb.restart=false
sdkman.show.update.only=true
sdkman.force.http=false

this did not do me any good. If there is any other way. please suggest
me.

Tq... Transfering to linux platform today...:D....

[ankur agarwal]

On ubuntu/linux use proxychains
On Windows use Proxifier

@ballu use Vmware Player(free)/other desktop virtualization ..... best option to stick to both

U need not to edit endroid.bat file for downloading packages. That is for providing net connectivity at runtime for application. For downloading packages simply check out the preference settings. Most probably i will tell u its exact location as soon as i am accessible to it.
And windows have some more issues...nice if u are switching to linux.

The question is not why, its how.

[Aakash Sigdel]

Well! i tried of editing the android.bat file, i added the authentication statement after the call to java.exe...but that didn't work either...Hope it works on UBUNTU....

You don't have to check any settings in android.bat .Me n piyush faced the same problem . Go to eclipse/preferences/network . Enter the network settings over there .And from there you can download both the SDK and AVD (Android emulator ) and other stuff  like google extensions .

 

Secondly this can also be done without internet connectivity as below

1)The android repository is specified by the xml as http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml

2)Just go through this repository and find in the required files like if you are looking for Android SDK 1.5 , you can use the following lines

Then enter it as below in the firefox or whatever

http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/(whatever package name is present)

 

Like if you want to download this package listen in the xml file "android-1.1_r1-linux.zip"

Just add this line to the above link and ur done

 

Really cheap hack but it works

 

the real problem is proxy authenticating a completely authenticated android application .

I don't remember exactly but wherever you might have installed ur SDK .From that directory , you have to go to platform or platform-tools to add these SDK platforms , next time you open ur eclipse , you'll see the added platform enlisted in the Android manager window .

Piyush might be having it instaled (mera lappy load nahin utha paata :-( ), so if you are on x86 architecture(which  , im sure you are )  you can just copy the files and use it as it is . Eclipse comes as a preinstalled binary , so no issues there as well .Some issues might have to be resolved like compatibility mode etc .
