Titanium freezes while trying to install/update Android SDK

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

Titanium on my desk top freezes whenever I try and get the Android SDK to install/update (so that I can use Titanium), it downloads a file, but then goes to install it but it freezes and locks up the entire program.

What about you trying to install the Android SDK even *before install the TiStudio?

PS: What I mean is: try to get it installed at least (Android SDK) and after that get it into TiStudio via setting your configs.

Hope that helps, Cheers, Rodrigo.

I have it installed, I installed it prior to Titanium. It still wants me to press a button 'Install/Update SDK', and it's leaving me unable to use it on my desk top. I have to use Titanium for my assessment for a university class (it is a specific requirement), and while I can use it on my laptop, I would prefer to use it on my desktop while I am at home as I am much less prone to typo's and can see everything much easier. I just don't get why it did it no problems on the laptop, but is giving me grief here.

Hi Rhys,

No problem!

But regarding your issue there, well, it sounds a little bit "weird" at least. You have it installed and working as expected on your laptop as you said, so I assume you know already how to get the installments process properly. :)

When you say: "It still wants me to press a button 'Install/Update SDK', and it's leaving me unable to use it on my desk top"

Does it mean that after "clicking" the button you mention so your desktop "freezes"? Lock?

Do you have all the "minimum" versions of Android SDK installed as well in your laptop? As the Titanium Docs actually asks as well: ensure that the Prerequisite Android SDK / API for the latest official Titanium SDK.

I am pretty sure youve got already into the link Ill pass below concerning the installation of Android SDK with TiStudio, but BTW I will pass the link for you to check out that as there is a kind of "step-by-step" installation process for it (I`ve done that as well with success):

• http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/2.0/index.html#!/guide/Quick_Start

In the webpage link above, you go "down" the page and look forward *Android SDK step`s installation. Maybe it will clarify something else for you.

Am sorry if it does not help but I hope it does.

Cheers, Rodrigo.

  • I have done all that (including removing and reinstalling Titanium), and tried again just for good measure. My desk top doesn't freeze, only Titanium, but I can't do anything with the program. Only Titanium locks up and it needs to be force-closed as it is 'Not Responding' according to windows. Mousing over it just gives the little busy symbol mouse pointer, and clicking anywhere in the window makes it go white for a minute before it comes up with the force-close box.

Sorry to hear that, understood now.

BTW, are you sure you have the Oracle Java JDK 6-32bit installed on your machine? Are you sure that there aren`t any reference for JDK 7 on your machine? Please, be sure to have only the Java 6-32bit and nothing else about it as looks like that it would be a problem with Ti.

Am running out of ideas right now, but feel free to let me know what you get there so I can brainstorm a little more or even someone else jump into here and give some hot-tips about the issue you`re facing now.

Good luck. Rodrigo.

  • I don't have JDK 7, but I do have Java 7. Only JDK I have is 6, as the program I have to use for my programming class needs it and has issues with anything else.

  • it must be 32 bit

    — commented 9 months ago by Aaron Saunders

Yes, it must be 32bit for it to work, so be sure about that as well.

  • I tried to run it again to identify the file it locked up on, and it was the JDK file, so I went to look what one I had, and I had the 64 bit version. Downloaded the 32bit version myself, but then Titanium wouldn't run again. Uninstalled and then reinstalled, and it's currently installing the Android components it needs (on top of the normal Android SDK). I won't close this off just yet in case it still locks up on me though.

Great news! Even the "process" not being so excellent as you are going through but definitely it is something "new" on the scenario you were facing isn`t it?

Let us know how it goes.

Cheers,

  • Well, it froze about 10% of the way through installing the SDK, and ever since I have not been able to do anything since then with it. It freezes within 30 seconds of launching, even after more reinstalls. I am starting to think that because I don't like trying to code using my laptop, everything is conspiring against me to force the matter haha.

    Also - after each time it freezes now, I have to reboot the computer, or I cannot relaunch it.

Argh...bad news.

So, I do not know what you could do right now besides trying to get rid of every instance of Titanium/JDK7, etc and trying again, sorry.

Also, am not a PC user so I think that maybe my info isn`t very right for you I do not know.

There are not "forces" against you (haha), it is just matter of time and getting a "fresh-brain" to get to "see" where the problem might be. ;)

Keep us noticed and am also starting to think a little more about your issue.

Good Luck, Rodrigo.

  • I was a step ahead of you there. I'd just finished doing that, and am at present installing a fresh download of the program.

  • wow... Wishing best of luck!

    — commented 9 months ago by Rodrigo Costa

  • No luck. It freezes when I try and tell it where the Android SDK is installed. I think I will just suffer with using my laptop for for the assessment work, since it's working there without issue.

Sorry.

I can see it now as being only a "problem" with the Windows OS Registry. I can not imagine anything else than it as I know that many times we "think" that are deleting/removing something from the PC, well, many times(if not most) left "things" still into the Registry and so even trying to install from the ZERO, you`ll be not at the zero if you understand what I mean.
