"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlSchema" when accepting SDK licenses

Alright so I'm trying to build my React-Native app using Android Studio. I first ran into this error when building:
Failed to install the following Android SDK packages as some licences have not been accepted.
build-tools;29.0.2 Android SDK Build-Tools 29.0.2
To build this project, accept the SDK license agreements and install the missing components using the Android Studio SDK Manager.
Alternatively, to transfer the license agreements from one workstation to another, see http://d.android.com/r/studio-ui/export-licenses.html
Using Android SDK: C:\Users\jaspe\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
When figuring that out I came across this answer which told me to accept the licenses. However in trying to do so I got the following error:
C:\Users\jaspe\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin>sdkmanager --licenses

To resolve which I found this post. I don't use brew, but I tried the second answer. It didn't work, sadly enough. Then I found out I didn't have a JDK installed, so I did that. But with the newest JDK installed I still get an exception:
C:\Users\jaspe\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin>sdkmanager.bat -licenses
Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Module java.xml.bind not found
And now I'm not sure what to do anymore. I found an answer explaining I needed to edit my project settings, but I think this doesn't apply to my project, and honestly I'm in a bit over my head. Does someone have experiences with these errors, and can help me fix them? I've spent the whole morning trying to figure this out, I'd expected building a runnable .APK as a demo would be easier...

You are using the wrong sdkmanager, tools directory has been deprecated
Open Android Studio and install the latest command-line tools:
This will create this folder in your Android SDK:
...\Android\Sdk\cmdline-tools\latest\bin
Now use the sdkmanager which is inside the bin directory to accept all the licenses:
C:\Users\jaspe\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\cmdline-tools\latest\bin>sdkmanager.bat --licenses

#MatPag's answer has the solution I needed, but it took me a while to recognise it. Posting this answer for a specific case incase it helps someone else.
I was trying to setup Unreal Engine v4.25.4 when I encountered this error. I needed to run a batch script that came with Unreal Engine located at:
C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.25\Engine\Extras\Android\SetupAndroid.bat
which produced the error:
Android Studio Path: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio
Android Studio SDK Path: C:\Users\brianb\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk

Update failed. Please check the Android Studio install.
Press any key to continue . . .
Even after I located the sdkmanager.bat script and executed it according to MatPag's answer, my AndroidSetup.bat script was failing.
Eventually I realised the AndroidSetup.bat was trying to call the sdkmanager.bat from the wrong location.
I edited the AndroidSetup.bat file (line 61) as follows to correct the path:
:: set SDKMANAGER=%STUDIO_SDK_PATH%\tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat
set SDKMANAGER=%STUDIO_SDK_PATH%\cmdline-tools\latest\bin\sdkmanager.bat

React-Native DisconnectableInputStream java exception

On fresh React-Native project, i would like run default app on Android device, but i've this Java Exception :

It will be removed at the end of 2018. For more information see: http://d.android.com/r/tools/update-dependency-configurations.html

To suppress this warning, remove "buildToolsVersion '26.0.1'" from your build.gradle file, as each version of the Android Gradle Plugin now has a default version of the build tools.

The app has been run on device, but with Error 500 on Metro Bundler.
Anyone can help me about this exception ? I'm on Linux environment.
Thank you community !

You need to create a bundle for your app.
mkdir android/app/src/main/assets
react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res
Then you could run it on your android.
Hope this helps.

By me this error comes up, because i had a bad file in the .idea folder.
found it as i tried to start the deployment server with
npm start
may this helps

Build Java ver error on Android Studio

I am hoping someone could shed some light on the following build error I get when trying to launch a project in Android Studio just imported form Eclipse:
Error:Execution failed for task ':dIveApp:dexDebug'.
com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_11.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 2
I am running on OS X Yosemite 10.10 and running java 8.0 Update 60 (build 1.8.8_60-b27). the url above seems to reference jdk1.7.0_11jdk, not sure if this is the issue or how to check.
Cheers

Look at gradle console log, most probably you will see an exact error.
Most of the time this is because you added the same package few times - library for different modules or in different places.
If not - try to clean - rebuild project.
p.s. You can change JDK for project in File -> Project Structure
Also, there is already answers for this question
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'. com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException

Unity-Android _ CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to convert classes into dex format

i'm using Windows 7, jdk 1.8.0 (64bit), jre 8 (64bit), Unity Pro 4.3.4f1 and Android SDK 22.6.1
All are updated softwares.
All works fine but when i use StartApp sdk, this error comes. No extra plugin is used, only the SDK provided by the StartApp ad.

I already tried JAVA_OPT and JAVA_HOME solutions. But still couldn't solved

I ran into this using IntelliJ 13.1.4, JDK 1.6 but I would guess that this is caused by the same thing on any other IDE -> classes.jar is referenced/included more than once.
Check and make sure that the classes.jar you added to the project (from Unity\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\androidplayer\bin\classes.jar) isn't referenced/included more than once. If you go into File->Project Structure:
There should only be one "classes" under libraries.
There should be NO reference to classes under Artifacts (Artifacts is used to create the plugin .jar file.)

My issue was actually related to having duplicate files. Well not really duplicates, but I had 2 adMob sdk packages (different versions), that were getting into conflict. After deleting the older one, everything was fixed. Are you using any 3rd party SDK's or something similar, if so, try removing them if possible and see if the issue persists. Try to find out which part of the code is causing this to happen. You could ultimately try to compile an empty project just for testing.

Today I solved similar problem of Error building Player: CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to convert classes into dex format. See the Console for details. with adding .jar file into Plugins\Android\
I got different kind of errors:
Caused by: com.android.dx.cf.iface.ParseException: bad class file magic (cafebabe) or version (0034.0000 ...
Caused by: com.android.dx.cf.iface.ParseException: class name (ht/stringing/test) does not match path (src/ht/stringing/test.class)
My result working solution was similar to this:
Code lives here:
verysimple\src\ht\stringing\test.java
I do:
> javac -classpath "c:\Android\sdk\platforms\android-15" ht\stringing\test.java
> jar cvf ..\dist\verysimple.jar ht\stringing\test.class
> copy ..\dist\verysimple.jar c:\ExUnityApp\Assets\Plugins\Android
Don't forget to compare your 'Minimum Api Level' in Player Setting. For me it was Android 4.0.3 ... (15)
