"No suitable XML Schema Validator could be found"

Question

Hi,

Whilst trying to update through the Android AVD Manager, I receive the message:

"No suitable XML Schema Validator could be found in your Java environment"

It therefore can't parse the repository.xml and I can't download any updates.

How can I get rid of this error? I am guessing it might be caused by GIJ being the default Java implementation on my platform (Debian), however I have also installed the Sun JRE/JDK now.

Answer 1

It can be a number of things.

• It might be that your path to the SDK isn't set, or is wrong. In Preference > Android > SDK-location you should have a valid path.
• There might also be difficulties using HTTPS (https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/) for updates. I have had this problem almost every time. Try changing to HTTP (http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/) and see if it works.
• Make sure all steps of the install is completed. There is also some help on updates.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Fixed! Although I had installed the Sun JVM, update-java-alternatives needed to be run to switch the Java environment.
