Install Android SDK Manager for Windows 8.0

Has anyone installed the Android SDK Manager for Windows 8.0 ?

Android Studio and Java installed successfully.

When I click on the AVD Manager icon from the Android Studio tool bar the following is displayed:

"C:\PROGRA~2\Android\ANDROI~2\sdk\lib\find_java.exe" -s' is not recognized

I modified the environmental PATH variable to include a path to JAVA.

Java is installed. However the Android AVD or SDK for Windows 8 is not installed.

I did a compatibility check. Windows 8 is not on the compatibility list.

The link to download the Android SDK for Windows 8 would help.

Thanks,

This thread says it doesn't work if the folder names have spaces! [Competing site removed]
; but, says it was fixed........
Is this newer than what you have? http://www.windows8downloads.com/win8-android-sdk-vgdlxktr/

I downloaded the SDK right from the Android website: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Though I'm using Eclipse as my IDE. What are you using?

I am using Android Studio. I recently used the site you referenced and downloaded
adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030. ( http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html ).
However I have not installed it yet.

I also downloaded android-studio-bundle-133.970939-windows. I have not installed this one yet either. There have been so many attempts, that I forgot where this one came from.

I just downloaded android-sdk_r22.2.1-windows
From http://www.windows8downloads.com/win8-android-sdk-vgdlxktr/download.html.

What is the release date for android-sdk_r22.2.1-windows ?

I need the release that installs the AVD manager that is compatible with Windows 8.0.

Thanks,

Rob

I'm not sure why you would be downloading from a site like windows8downloads.com and not direct from android. The android studio download includes the SDK.

Did you also see that Android Studio is in Beta?

Caution: Android Studio is currently available as an early access preview. Several features are either incomplete or not yet implemented and you may encounter bugs. If you are not comfortable using an unfinished product, you may want to instead download (or continue to use) the ADT Bundle (Eclipse with the ADT Plugin).

Given your situation I would seriously reconsider using Eclipse

I will give you feedback in a few hours.

This is confusing. I simply need to Install Android SDK Manager for Windows 8.0.

As I said, the Android Studio was installed.

I need a link to any download that will download the SDK manager for Windows 8.0.

I went to this site:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/index.html

JDK 7 and JRE 7 Installation Guide

If you want to develop Java applications, download the Java Development Kit, or JDK. The JDK includes the JRE, so you do not have to download both separately.

I downloaded adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030 From http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

When I tried to launch Eclipse:

Error: A Java Runtime Environment(JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available to run Eclipse. ...jre\bin\javaw.exe was not found in your current PATH.

What do I need to do?

Thanks,
