I am new to android and searching the “could not initialize class com android sdklib repository androidsdkhandler” to understand it better. It seems it doesn’t work as expected when I used some suggestions before.
Here is the command line I use:

react-native run-android

The error I’m getting is below:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Failed to notify project evaluation listener.
   > Could not initialize class com.android.sdklib.repository.AndroidSdkHandler

Please give me the solution to this issue.

    The cause:

    This error happens due to JDK version 9. Java 9 officially has not supported building by Android tools yet. This causes such errors.

    Solution:

    This problem will be fixed by downgrading to Java version 8.

    Another way can solve this error is setting $JAVA_HOME environment variable to your JDK  installation. If you are using macOS, you can use the JDK bundled with Android Studio for it:

    export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home"

    For Windows, your user or system variables pointing to only need to be added JAVA_HOME.

    "C://Program Files/Java/jdk_1.x_"

    Then run react-native run-android again and the error will be solved.

  2. This is because the classpath build tools for build.gradle root are no longer supported. This is how to update it 

    buildscript {
 repositories {
 google()
 mavenCentral()
 }
 dependencies {
 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.0'
 }
}

    After that, update your minimum SDK and build tools to the latest version.
