I saw that a lot of people are having trouble setting up Titanium mobile to work with the new Android SDK. I don’t want to write the whole process here, because you will find it in the Titanium wiki, but i want to help with that particular problem everyone has: The new Android SDK is not recognized by Titanium because the adb executable is not where its supposed to be (in the tools directory).

So to get rid of this issue, we have to trick Titanium into thinking the adb file is still where it used to be in the old days (in the tools directory), before Android decided to put it in the platform-tools directory.

So to do this we have the following solution:

For WIndows 7:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools  – (or go where you installed your android sdk)

mklink adb.exe [...android_path...]\platform-tools\adb.exe

mklink AdbWinApi.dll [...android_path...]\platform-tools\AdbWinApi.dll

Windows XP, unfortunately doesn’t have the links ability so you will have to COPY the adb.exe file and AdbWinApi.dll in the tools directory.

On MacOS and Linux we can use the symbolic links ability so:

cd [...android_path...]/tools

ln -s [...android_path...]/platform-tools/adb

So this is about it. Probably you will also have to make the “android” file in the “tools” directory, executable by doing this:

chmod +x android
If you have any issues, do not hesitate to ask.
