How to configure Android SDK manager with socks?

The default proxy of Android SDK manager () is HTTP, but the problem is how can I use it with SOCKS (My OS is Windows 7)?

Solution

  • JVM has environment variable for proxy.

    [Linux]

    export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-DsocksProxyHost=<YourProxyHost>"

    [Windows]

    set _JAVA_OPTIONS="-DsocksProxyHost=<YourProxyHost>"

    Default port for socks proxy is 1080, If you are running your proxy in another port you have to tell jvm which port is it.

    [Linux]

     export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-DsocksProxyHost=<YourProxyHost> -DsocksProxyPort=<YourProxyPort>"

    [Windows]

    set _JAVA_OPTIONS="-DsocksProxyHost=<YourProxyHost> -DsocksProxyPort=<YourProxyPort>"

    And run android sdk manager in current session.

    [Linux]

     bash /path/to/sdk/tools/android

    [Windows]

     c:\path\to\android.exe

    You will see something like this at the start:

    [Linux]

     Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -DsocksProxyHost=<YourProxyHost>
