osx - Get android studio (or the gradle part) running on OS X 10.7.5 -


i need start android-development develop app motorola smartwatch on old mac os x lion. therefore tried installing android studio when got point goes wrong , that's realised mac os x 1.8 required.

after looking workarounds (i pretty sure there must found people claiming having android studio running on not-requirement-meeting os) stumbled upon a question on so. although answer there suggested forget android studio, tried again , discovered install android studio without avd. turned out better expected , after replacing adb older (mac os x 10.7.5 compiled) version, managed start new project.

although seems work now, gradle hangs when try build random project blank activity. don't find information gradle, system requirements , don't have experience it, wondering whether know solution.

which leads actual question: there workaround android studio running on older mac os x? instance solving gradle-problem or maybe totally other technique or doomed use eclipse (assuming not dual-booting)?

any welcome!

it possible. can download version of android studio (i guess, didn't try). after found explain me how gradle works, managed 1.4 working on 'old' mac.

you have take following points account

  1. make sure don't install avd-part works mac os x 10.8. me meant performing custom installation , deselect adv. deselected other intel software, don't know whether necessary.
  2. replace platform-tools folder (which in android sdk folder e.g. /users/yourname/library/android/sdk) older version downloaded https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r19.0.1-macosx.zip. if necessary tools folder can downgraded https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r22.6.2-macosx.zip
  3. if you've done this, can work android studio , create own project, gradle starts freak out because build-tools don't work (again can found in android sdk folder). had 2 folders in build-tools directory: 19.1.0 , 23.0.1. because build-tools in 23.0.1 don't work mac os x 10.7, can delete folder or other folder version like, need tell gradle. this, can follow options listed in answers on this question.

i hope helps people ever want started android studio on older version of mac os x
