Build Tools is a component of the Android SDK required for building Android + application code. The latest version of these tools is included in the + SDK starter package and installed in the + <sdk>/build-tools/ directory.

+ +

You should always keep your Build Tools component updated by downloading the latest version + using the Android SDK Manager. By default, + the Android SDK uses the most recent downloaded version of the Build Tools. If your projects + depend on older versions of the Build Tools, the SDK Manager allows you to download and maintain + separate versions of the tools for use with those projects.

+ +

To use a specific version of the Build Tools in your application project:

+ +
+

+ Using Eclipse

+ +
+
    +
  1. In the root folder of your application project, find the {@code project.properties} + file.
    2. +
  2. Open the file and specify the Build Tools version by adding a {@code buildtools} property + on a separate line: +
    +sdk.buildtools=17.0.0
+
    +
    3. +
+
+
+ +
+

+ Using Android Studio

+ +
+
    +
  1. In the root folder of your application project, find the {@code build.gradle} + file.
    2. +
  2. Open the file and specify the Build Tools version by adding a {@code buildToolsVersion} + property to the {@code android} section: +
    +android {
+    ...
+    buildToolsVersion "17.0.0"
+    ...
+}
+
