Android SDK Build-tools

The Android SDK bundle contains a component called Build-tools. Mobile testing requires at least version 19.0.1, 19.1.0, or 20.0.0.

If these versions are not installed with your ADT bundle, you can encounter an error message when creating a mobile asset in DevTest Workstation:

Cannot find the aapt command. Please install Android SDK Build-tools Rev 20.

Or

Cannot find the zipalign command. Please install Android SDK Build-tools Rev 20.

If you encounter this error message, update your Android SDK Build-tools version.

Follow these steps:

  1. Run android sdk from the folder that contains the unzipped ADT bundle.

    The Android SDK Manager opens.

  2. Under the Tools folder, ensure that 19.0.1, 19.1.0, or 20.0.0 is installed and selected. Version 20.0.0 is the optimal version to use.

Once you install the correct Build-tools version, you can continue creating your mobile asset.
