How to update to SDK 24.0.2

SDK Platforms
SDK Tools
[![enter image description here][3]][3]

You can even update to the latest by changing the build tool in build.gradle file, but as you said you are pretty new and firstly just want to run this project by installing the build tool version 24.0.2
Please click on Show Package Detail of your second screenshot then you will start seeing all the other build tool version you can install and you will find your 24.0.2 as well like I started seeing that after selecting the Show Package Detail.

Go to Tools > SDK Manager.
Make sure Android SDK Location matches your local.properties file sdk.dir value. (Fix it in the file if required)
In the SDK Platforms tab, check an install Android 7.
In the SDK Tools tab check and install 24.0.2.

make sure you have internet connection and build the project again.
On the main menu click Build > Make Project

How to fix "JAVA_HOME environment references a directory" in unity3d

I have a problem showed on this screenshot:
Android Resolver
JAVA_HOME environment references a directory (C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_212) that does not contain java which is required
to process Android libraries.
The problem has appeared when I imported GoogleMobileAds package to insert AdMob ads to my project. I tried to create 2 local variables "JAVA_HOME" and "PATH" in environment variables using this guide https://null-code.ru/solution/157-reshenie-exception-jar-not-found-windows.html , but it doesn't help me.

It is a Unity bug. To fix:
Edit->Preferences->External Tools
Uncheck Android SDK Tools Installed with Unity (recommended)
Press Browse -> It might update the filepath
Recheck Android SDK Tools Installed with Unity (recommended)
Then:
Assets->Play Services Resolver->Android Resolver->Resolve
This has been tested and works with Unity 2019, Unity 2020, and Unity 2021.

try
Assets-> Play Services Resolver-> Android Resolver-> Delete Resolved Libraries

check is your Java set true or not:
go to cmd and type JAVA -version
if this appeared means your JDK is set if not check this link: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/setting-the-java_home-variable-in-windows-8895.html
after these, if you have the problem again update your JDK
from https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

i was using admob plugin in my project and this is how i resolved the issue after trying all given solutions.
reimport the admob plugin / plugins you are using in your project. (i just reimport the latest version of admob plugin and issue resolved)

For me it was similar to this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/57361245/2149955 but just a bit different so sharing a separate answer for when you haven't installed the tools through unity hub.
In Unity:
Edit->Preferences->External Tools
See error messages "You are missing the recommended <TOOL>. Install the recommended version using Unity Hub"
In Unity Hub:
Installs -> My Unity Version -> ... -> Add Modules, Twirl open Android Build Support -> Check Android SDK & NDK Tools (I also checked OpenJDK)
Press Next -> Accept Terms
Wait for install to finish
After that finishes, back in Unity:
If you look in external tools again, the error messages will be gone
Assets->Play Services Resolver->Android Resolver->Resolve

Update to Unity 2019.4.10f
fixed it

When I wanted to make an app for Android, I got this and many more as errors. Nothing worked, including the solutions here. I tried both Unity versions 2020.3.5f1 and 2019.4.22f1, it didn't work.
I figured out that the problem was due to "Android Built Support" not being fully installed. I did the following and the problem was gone:
Unity Hub (my version 2.4.3) -> from the left menu, go Installs
Click the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the Unity version you want (I used 2019.4.22f1) -> Add Modules
From Platforms, find "Android Built Support"
Its check box was checked because I installed it before, but if you don't have it, first install it
Display its submodules with the arrow to its left; "Android SDK & NDK Tools" and "OpenJDK"
Check their check boxes, next and install
Restart Unity
When you open the project, it resolves
It gave me another warning after the resolve, so I made sure that the problem was gone by doing "Assets->External Dependency Maneger->Android Resolver->Force Resolve" in the project again.

I faced this error when I wanted to build for Android. The reason I have faced this is that I had 2 Unity versions (2019.4.9f1 and 2020.3.3f1), and my JAVA_HOME was configured to use the java folder inside 2019.4.9f1. I then uninstalled and removed 2019.4.9f1, and after that, I got this error when trying to build in 2020.3.3f1.
I changed my JAVA_HOME variable permanently, following the link below:
How to set JAVA_HOME in Mac permanently?
Restarted my Macbook.
Went to Unity -> Preferences -> External tools, unchecked NDK, JDK, etc., clicked the Browse button that appeared, and selected the folder under 2020.3.3f1 manually for JDK.
(In the end, no folder should change when you uncheck and check again)

Simple fix. I got this message about Missing the JDK. If you have one that is similar or pointing to the wrong JDK you can try this fix.
Here is the Error I was getting:
I solved this by:
In Unity goto "Edit->Preferences->External Tools"
Unchecked the box "JDK Installed with Unity (recommended)", and noticed that the Path was pointing to an Old version of Unity I had uninstalled.
Changed the Path to the current version of Unity I am usings, OpenJDK directory.
Re-checked the box "JDK Installed with Unity (recommended)"
Then was able to build my game, and build to my android phone just fine.
Note: If your having problems with the SDK or NDK you could try this solution, by unchecking, and re-checking their respective boxes.

This Worked For me:
If u had rectified
JAVA_HOME,
JDK SDK files &
every possible way and solution does not show up try
preference -> in android untick the JDK installed..,
if you see a change in directory then just re tick,
copy path of JDK and uncheck,
finally paste the path close(x) preference TRY BUILD & RUN
Next time you open Unity Editor then try to check & uncheck JDK we have to see the same directory both ways

there is no sdk if you install unity editor without hub.
it seems unity want to use the versions they want. so it's very poor support for previous historty version.
there is a workaround. you can install a version offically recommanded.
and then copy the sdk, ndk, openjdk folder from the offical version folder to the folder you are using. for windows, these folder is like this:
from:
C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.21f1c1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\OpenJDK
to:
C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor[your_version]\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\OpenJDK

Android appcompat v7 error

Being new to Android developent I followed the simplest of tutorials, built a new android project, accepting all default settings (built it for kitkat). To my dismay I have an un-planned project - appcompat_v7, along with the errors:
The container 'Android Dependencies' references non existing library
'C:\Users...\workspace\appcompat_v7\bin\appcompat_v7.jar'
and twice the following
The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved
Is there a quick way to fix these?
Is this a sign of how difficult, and bugged with unpleasant surprises learning Android is going to be?
(Hope it will not be similar to learning IOS 6 years ago...)

The appcompat_v7 library is added by default to an Android project. You will most likely need it for any demo projects you start making.
To correctly add this library, follow these steps:
For Android Studio:
1. Ensure that you have the Android Support Repository installed in your SDK Manager:
2. In your build.gradle file, include the following implementation statement
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'
within the dependency bracket.
3. Perform a Gradle sync with the Sync Project button.
~LEGACY ANSWER~:
For Eclipse:
The trick is, you need to clean & build the appcompat_v7 project. Go to
Project -> select Clean -> select the project.
After doing this, if the project does not get built automatically, right click on the project in the package explorer and select Build Project. Now the .jar file will be generated in the project's bin folder. After that, clean & build all projects that reference appcompat_v7.
Now the library should be correctly referenced by all projects that need it.
Note also that:
You must have the latest versions of SDK Tools / Build Tools
/ Platform Tools. If you try this and it doesn't work, then go to
the Android SDK Manager and make sure you have the latest versions of
the required tools.
In case your project only requires API level 14 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
& above, select API level 14 for "minimum required SDK" in the
project wizard when you create a new project. Now the appcompat_v7
library will not be required for this project, and the application
will use the native ActionBar class which is present in AOSP builds
from ICS onwards.

The accepted answer worked for me but only after I'd installed the latest Java JDK (which was a solution to the problem detailed here Android - "Parsing Data for android-21 failed")

Need to update your SDK manager
click ur sdk manager icon in the ecilipse then update android support Repository in the extras
then
go to File->import->existing project
abt bundle->sdk->extra->android->support->v7 to workspace
after import v7 to workspace go to lib folder choose both jar and right click and choose build to workspace then again right click v7 project go to java build path choose the checkbox and click apply and ok..
if u have updated sdk then follow this steps
step 1:
Right click ur project then go to
property->choose java build path
step 2:
click Add External jar
Step 3:
Browse to ur adt bundle go to ur workspace choose the folder
android-support-v7-appcompat -> lib -> appcompat_v7.jar

Appcompat_7 error solved!
Hi, im a complete beginner, i solved my problem by go to SDK manager update/install all the new android sdk build tools (as im not sure which is which i should update/install so i update/install all the build tools. after updated/installed all the new build tools i closed my eclipse and relaunch the eclipse again. if you see any error again? go to the top bar click PROJECT and choose CLEAN. and run your application again and i think it will work fine..

it worked for me when i changed project build tarjet to API 21 for the android_support_v7_appcompact project

I had the same problem and I tried all of mentionded above advices and much more from, but no one helped me to solve my issue. My solution was creating a progect with minimum required SDK API 14: Android 4.0 (IceCreamSandwich). Doing this way Eclipse will not create appcompat_v7 project.
Also I found another, better, solution:
Go to Android SDK Manager and install Android 5.0.1 (API 21) or newer. If you don't use the emulator you can install only SDK Platform and Google APIs;
Go to appcompat_v7 -> Properties -> Android and check Android 5.0.1 in the Project Build Target;
Then go to Java Build Path -> Order and Export and check Android 5.0.1;
Do the same procedure for your project.

Strange fix but this worked for me ( My minimum SDK for my project is 10 - can't use 14)
Right-click on the "appcompat_v7" project and go to
-> Properties -> Android.
Your target build should already be set at the latest build (in my case Android 5.0.1). Click any other android package (apart from its current target) and click "Apply". Click "Ok" to close the box.
Re-open the Properties box by the same method but this time check the latest build (in my case Android 5.0.1) as the Project Build Target. Click "Apply", then "Ok" to close the box.
Clean the appcompat_v7 project. You'll probably need to clean/build all other projects that reference this library.
This solved it for me.

I was having with same Issue and fed up but finally I got the answer . I resolved this by Copy appcompat library E:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat and paste appcompat Library in the the Project which I want to Import . I close the Eclipse and reopen. But One thing I want to consider before these stuff I updated Android Support Repository and Android Support Library as well.

I solved it by downloading the file manually somewhere on the internet (be careful) and putting it into the needed \appcompat_v7\bin\ folder before creating a new Android project. After that, also my R.java file was generated successfully.
Honestly, no other way seemed to fix it. Could not obtain the file via the SDK manager.

Running Android Support v4 Library Demo Programs

I'm interested in running the Android Support library demo projects for the v4 library.
Using the Android SDK manager I've installed the Eclipse plugins, and APIs from 2.2 to 4.0.1. There are several issues involved, and the sample project as provided is far from running on my configuration, as downloaded.
To reproduce this error:
Install SDK and Eclipse Juno
Import the sample v4 compatibility project using File --> New --> New Project and choose "from existing code", targeting, for example, the Support4Demos folder in <Android-sdk-path>/extras/android/support
Open the file AccessibilityManagerSupportActivity.java. The following errors appear.
Open res/values-v11/styles.xml. The following errors occur.
How do I get rid of these errors? I'd also like to understand why they are appearing so I can fix them in the future.
Thanks!

Clean solution is to:
Right-click your project.
Choose "Android Tools"
Choose "Add support library".
Install the appropriate support library (the newest)
I can't really answer you on the why this problem happens, but I'm guessing the Android team doesn't supply the Android support library, because it's changing all the time, so not to get stuck on some older version, they want us to supply it on our own.
If errors still persists or new errors come up, right-click the project again and choose "Android tool" -> "Fix project properties"
Update: In conjuction to my answer, the way to remove the rest of the errors is to import the project another way than you did.
Select File -> New -> Other
Click Next
Write Android Sample
Select Android sample Project and click Next
Now add the Android support librarys as described above.
You will get errors still however. To fix these, do the following:
Right-click your project and select "Properties"
Select Android
Select an SDK version equal to 3.0 or above
Select Ok and clean the project from the project menu.
All done ;-)
Now you won't be able to run the sample project on devices lower than Android 3.0.
The reason is because of some dependencies on some themes and settings, that wasn't added before Android 3.0 apparently.
It doesn't make sense why Google did this, but they did. You could try to remove the SDK +11 (Android 3.0) specific dependencies, but it will take some time - there are more errors than you actually see - especially in the XML files.

You have to add the v4 support library.
In order to do that , please follow these steps :
Select your project.
Click on Project from the menu.
Select Properties.
Click on Java Build Path.
Select the Libraries tab.
Click on Add External JARs.
Select the main directory of the Android SDK that you installed, then go to extras -> android -> support -> v4 , and then select android-support-v4.jar and click on Open.
Click OK.
This should remove the errors.

Please check your libs folder has android-support-v4.jar is present or not. if not add this jar file in libs folder.Just copy the android-support-v4.jar from any project and paste it to the libs folder of your project

I spent a whole night on this but can not solve this problem.
I finally solved the by accident: change some file in the demo and save, then change it back, this cleared all the errors. I think when you change some file and save, eclipse build the project and generate the R.java.

How do I link android library (as Angle) to my Eclipse project?

Nooby question, I guess, but.
I downloaded free android engine called Angle from here.
There is a source and an example. I imported this project to Eclipse and now getting errors:
Project 'ANGLE' is missing required source folder: 'gen'
and there was no such directory in package, so, I guess, I need to create it? In my helloWorld created without any libraries I have R.java in this folder (gen/com/companyName/appName/R.java).
Also, there was another error - project was for "android-3", and I have sdk beginning with 2.2 (android-8). So I changed target to android 2.2 and got an error
Android requires compiler compliance level 5.0 or 6.0.
Found '1.7' instead. Please use Android Tools > Fix Project Properties.
So, what are "android tools"? Never seen this option.
Thanks for any help. New to Eclipse, new to Android, so need some advices.

Do mouse right click on your project and you will see "Android tools" in context menu.

Right click on your project and select Android Tools > Fix Project Properties
If it's does'nt work, Right click on your project => properties and select an android sdk version. Clean the project and rebuild.
To convert the project to Library project, Right click => properties => Android => Is Library => OK

Right click on project => Android Tools
also try to change compliler to 1.7
to connect library project : right click=> android => Add and choose library project
