[Android-tools-devel] Bug#883074: [android-sdk] Unable to figure out a way to accept licenses

[Maurizio Avogadro]

Package: android-sdk
Version: 25.0.0+5
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Total newbie here needing to build an Android apk package: didn't know
it's something only a shaman can face... I'm used to seek info from all
available sources, I had to give up since I couldn't guess how to accept
some licenses (sounds fun, isn't it?):

$ ./gradlew
NDK is missing a "platforms" directory.
If you are using NDK, verify the ndk.dir is set to a valid NDK
directory.  It is currently set to /usr/lib/android-sdk/ndk-bundle.
If you are not using NDK, unset the NDK variable from ANDROID_NDK_HOME
or local.properties to remove this warning.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':MyCuteLittleApp'.
> You have not accepted the license agreements of the following SDK
components:
  [Android SDK Build-Tools 26.0.1, Android SDK Platform 26].
  Before building your project, you need to accept the license
agreements and complete the installation of the missing components using
the Android Studio SDK Manager.
  Alternatively, to learn how to transfer the license agreements from
one workstation to another, go to
http://d.android.com/r/studio-ui/export-licenses.html

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or
--debug option to get more log output.

It seems the licenses change from time to time and that a checksum must
be stored in a $ANDROID_HOME/licenses/*-license file, but I was unable
to figure out:
- what and where those licenses are
- how the checksum should be computed
- what should be the file names

Could you please write somewhere how to solve such issues?

Thanks


P.S.: sorry if the solution was obvious but I was unable to guess it
