On my eclipse running on Ubuntu, I had just updated my Android SDK and was trying to run my android applications when I ran into the following error
error unknown option ‘–no-crunch’
android asset packaging tool
…
I thought I may be missing something, so I tried updating both my Android AVD and SKD but noticed another error while updating the SDK. The message was similar to the following:
Failed to fetch url https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml
In order to fix the problem of fetching the repository, I set the option to force https downloads to take place by http as advised by Vikram Pant in his blog.
To do this, I opened the Android SDK and AVD manager by going to <path to sdk>/tools/ directory.
Then I ran the following command :
$ ./android
Then I clicked Settings and checked the option to force https downloads to use http.
Next, I opened the Android SDK manager in eclipse. There were a few packages to install and others to update.
I first pressed the Delete Packages… button to delete the obsolete ones. Next, I pressed the Install Packages… to install fresh ones. That solved the problem.
