Please Help! CommandInvokationFailure and other build errors

Questions & Answers
1

At this point I am almost about to switch game engines i’m getting so frustrated. I am currently creating a game and i’m at the testing stage, so i downloaded the testing example provided by unity with the red cube etc. no matter what i do for {android} there seems to be a problem with the SDK. I have tried all solutions at this point, re-downloading older one, this and that. so i have boiled it down to 2 errors, 1 with the older SDK, and 1 with the newer SDK with android manager…

Here is the problem with the old SDK :
Error building Player: CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to resolve build tools directory. See the Console for more details.
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_121\bin\java.exe -Xmx2048M -Dcom.android.sdkmanager.toolsdir=“C:/Users/imabe/Desktop/SSDDKK/tools ools” -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -jar “C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer/Tools\sdktools.jar” -
and
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
UnityEditor.Android.PostProcessor.Tasks.CheckAndroidSdk.Execute (UnityEditor.Android.PostProcessor.PostProcessorContext context)

UnityEditor.PostprocessBuildPlayer.PrepareForBuild (BuildOptions options, BuildTarget target) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/BuildPipeline/PostprocessBuildPlayer.cs:98)
UnityEditor.HostView:OnGUI()

with the other new SDK its:
CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to list target platforms. Please make sure the android sdk path is correct. See the Console for more details.
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_121\bin\java.exe -Xmx2048M -Dcom.android.sdkmanager.toolsdir=“C:/Users/imabe/AppData/Local/Android/sdk1 ools” -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -jar “C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer/Tools\sdktools.jar” -

Figured it out. Had to rename a couple files and also do the enviromental variables. Thanks guys. After I put the jdk bin folder to an enviromental varibale, i then seen that one of the sdk’s i had was actually the “tools” folder that unity was complaining about. So i went to my original sdk and deleted the original tools folder and replaced it with my tools folder i had named “ssddkk”. so after i replaced that tools folder with ssddkk i renamed ssddkk to just Tools. It worked. can test my game now. Unity confused me with the “platform tools” error when it was just the tools that was a problem, and also sdk’s cannot be on the desktop like guy said above me. message me if anyone else had this problem and need pictures…thanks again
