Running the following avdmanager command produces the following error:
/usr/local/android-sdk/cmdline-tools/tools/bin/avdmanager -v create avd -n "test" -k "system-images;android-25;google_apis;armeabi-v7a" --abi google_apis/armeabi-v7a
Error:
Error: Exception during AvdManager initialization
Error: null
expected a non-null reference
We are currently migrating from Java 8 to Java 11 and this command used to work before under Java 8 (OpenJdk). I have gotten the latest command line tools from Google
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/commandlinetools-linux-8512546_latest.zip
Java version
# java --version
openjdk 11.0.14 2022-01-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.14+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu2.16.04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.14+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu2.16.04, mixed mode, sharing)
This problem occurs if I run any avdmanager command
/usr/local/android-sdk/cmdline-tools/tools/bin/avdmanager -v list
Local Path
# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/android-sdk/tools:/usr/local/android-sdk/platform-tools:/usr/local/android-sdk/build-tools/30.0.3:/usr/local/android-ndk
Android Home
# echo $ANDROID_HOME
/usr/local/android-sdk
However the sdkmanager commands work fine
/usr/local/android-sdk/cmdline-tools/tools/bin/sdkmanager --no_https --install "system-images;android-25;google_apis;armeabi-v7a"
Any thoughts on why this cryptic message shows up? Usually the errors are more descriptive and this has left my stumped for now.
Thanks
