Expecting class path separator ';' before '\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\23.0.1\lib\shrinkedAndroid.jar' in argument number 8

[Unknown]

Hi,

I am trying to build the SampleBrowser-Forms for Android however when I do so, I get the following error :-

Expecting class path separator ';' before '\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\23.0.1\lib\shrinkedAndroid.jar' in argument number 8

Any ideas why this might be happening and how to resolve it?

Kind regards,

Paul Diston

Hi Paul Diston, 

 

This is a known issue in Xamarin and you can find more details in the below link.

To fix  this issue, move both the android sdk and ndk to the location with no space in its path and update the following settings. 

  

Visual Studio:  Tools -> Options -> Xamarin -> Android Settings -> Android SDK Location
