I downloaded and installed:
- JDK (
jdk-9.0.1_osx-x64_bin.dmg) from Oracle here - Android SDK (
sdk-tools-darwin-3859397.zip) from Google here.
After configuring the PATH variable, I tried running sdkmanager, which replaced the android command for managing SDK components. However, it failed as shown here:
$ sdkmanager --list

Here is the Java version:
$ java -version
java version "9.0.1"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9.0.1+11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9.0.1+11, mixed mode)
Does anyone know how to fix it without going back to Java 8?

With the help of this answer, I successfully solved the problem.
We are going to apply a fix in sdkmanager. It is a shell script. It is located at $android_sdk/tools/bin, where $android_sdk is where you unzipped the Android SDK.
- Open
sdkmanagerin your favorite editor. Locate the line which sets the
DEFAULT_JVM_OPTSvariable. In my copy, it is at line 31:DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS='"-Dcom.android.sdklib.toolsdir=$APP_HOME"'Append the following options to the variable:
-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee. Please pay attention to the quotes. In my copy, the line becomes:DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS='"-Dcom.android.sdklib.toolsdir=$APP_HOME" -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee'- Save the file and quit the editor.
- Run the command again.
Here is the result:
$ sdkmanager --list

Hola! It works!
-- Edit: 2017-11-07 --
Please note that you may need to apply the fix above again after running sdkmanager --update, since the sdkmanager shell script may be overridden if the tools package is updated.
