I am trying to build an apk via jenkins for my android application. I followed this tutorial to do this.The issue I have is my Android sdk is installed in a separate hard disk (Not the one where jenkins is installed).

So the path I set for the sdk in the environment variable is not identified by jenkins & the build fails. But I can build an apk normally using Android studio with the same sdk path.

P.S Android studio is installed in the same hard where jenkins is installed. I referred to this solution but still no luck. Also I cannot move the sdk to the disk where I have installed jenkins because of a disk space issue. Please can any one help me on this ?

Please refer to the console log in Jenkins

  • Do you have some log? In another way, some months ago , I was able to compile an apk without Android Studio. Android Studio has a lot of unused dependencies. Are you interested? – JRichardsz Dec 14 '18 at 14:03
  • Hi @JRichardsz I have added the error log. Can you help on this? – DRayen Dec 16 '18 at 13:54

I found a solution for my problem from this. I had to update the access permission for the user to access the mounted drive using the below steps

1.Unmount the mounted device (/dev/sdb is the hard disk detected name)

umount /dev/sdb
chmod -R 0777 /mnt/

2.Finally mount the hard

mount /dev/sdb /mnt

3.Then I gave the sdk path as /mnt/Android/Sdk
