If you need to support an earlier version of Unreal Engine alongside 4.25 or later, use the Android Studio setup in this document, then follow the instructions in this section to target the path for the version of Android Studio you need. This is most likely to be the case if you have an installation of Unreal Engine alongside an earlier version that used CodeWorks.ĭo not install CodeWorks and Android Studio at the same time, otherwise you will receive errors. However, if you are using an earlier version of the Unreal Engine alongside Android Studio, you may need to manually target your SDK paths to be compatible. If you followed the above how-to sections without encountering problems, Unreal Engine will automatically associate the SDK paths for the Android SDK, the current Android NDK version, and the Java Development Kit (JDK).

This issue is addressed in Unreal Engine 4.25.1 and later. Remove the entry in this list for lldb 3.1, but leave the others. If you receive an error stating that a package called lldb 3.1 could not be loaded, open the SetupAndroid script with a text editor, and locate the line of code that reads:Ĭall '%SDKMANAGER%' 'platform-tools' 'platforms android-28' 'build-tools 28.0.3' 'lldb 3.1' 'cmake 3.404' 'ndk 462' Android setup should then proceed normally. In the event that you receive an error stating that repositories.cfg cannot be loaded, navigate to the folder where it is expected (usually C:/Users/.android/repositories) and create an empty repositories.cfg file. Otherwise, Android Studio will continue to use the previous CodeWorks installation folder for SDK updates. If you are upgrading from Unreal 4.24 or earlier, we recommend that you uninstall CodeWorks for Android and any existing NDK components, and delete the folder CodeWorks was installed to.

You should make sure that the Unreal Editor and the Epic Games Launcher are both closed to ensure that there are no problems with either the installation of NDK components or setting your environment variables for the engine. This page provides a walkthrough for setting up Android Studio and ensuring that Unreal Engine recognizes these components correctly, and some troubleshooting tips for managing NDK installations and earlier engine builds. Unreal Engine 4.25 and later uses the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) distributed with Android Studio for all essential Android development components, including the Android Native Development Kit (NDK).
