Eclipse 101: ERROR: Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: Unknown Host http://xxx.xxx.xxx.x

While doing an update on my Eclipse SDK for Android development, I came to a problem that I can't able to update SDK due to proxy problem which I didn't remember setting it up.

Problem is that I encountered this error "ERROR: Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: Unknown Host http://192.168.101.5".

I tried disabling the proxy settings of Eclipse Network Connections in all active provider: Direct, Manual, and Native but nothing works for me and error still persist.

It took me half a day to figure out the problem is, and then I found the config file on Android for the proxy settings.

You just have to go to this path: ~/.android/androidtool.cfg.. and you will see the settings like on this below.

### Settings for Android Tool
#Tue Jun 22 09:08:34 PHT 2010
http.proxyPort=80
sdkman.monitor.density=72
http.proxyHost=http\://192.168.101.5
sdkman.show.update.only=false
sdkman.ask.adb.restart=false
sdkman.force.http=false


Then update it to remove the proxy port, proxy host, and set the force http to true. The settings should be like this.

### Settings for Android Tool
#Tue Jun 22 09:08:34 PHT 2010
http.proxyPort=
sdkman.monitor.density=72
http.proxyHost=
sdkman.show.update.only=false
sdkman.ask.adb.restart=false
sdkman.force.http=true


Thank you for reading this post. Hope it helps!

Leadership 101


  • Leadership demands sacrifices for the near-term to receive lasting benefits. the longer we wait to make sacrifices, the harder they become. Successful people make important decisions early in their life, then manage those decisions the rest of their lives.
  • Growth does not happen by chance. If you want to be sure to grow, you need a plan something strategic, specific, and scheduled. it's a discipline that would need incredible determination from us.
  • Success comes by going the extra mile, working the extra hours, and investing the extra time. The same is true for us. If we want to get to excel in any segment of life, a little extra effort can help. Our efforts can go a long way if we only work a little smarter, listen a little better, push a little harder, and persevere a little longer.
  • Making a difference in your work is not about productivity; it's about people. When you focus on others and connect with them, you can work together to accomplish great things.
  • Envision a goal you'd like to reach. Make it big enough to scare you a little. Now write down a plan for moving toward it. Create mini-goals within the big goal, to set yourself up for continual progress. And include some risks, too. Set yourself up for success.
  • Leaders build margins, not image. A leader may be forced to take unpopular stands for the good of the company. Popularity isn't bad, but decisions made solely on the basis of popular opinion can be devastating. So take courage and make the right though sometimes painful choices.
