Regarding the comment - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/android-sdk-cmdline-tools-latest#comment-995433

To fix this, just go into Android Studio, Gear Icon > SDK Manager. And then, under the SDK Tools tab, uninstall the Android SDK Command Line Tools by unchecking it and hitting apply. That's what I had to do to fix updating the AUR package properly. :) You can then update after closing Android Studio. Hope this helps others!

Any clues on the following errors?

Did I probably updated through android-studio before AUR update? Not sure if it was a mistake on my side.

Does this really need java-environment to be used? Is java-runtime not sufficing?

@Jal-JAP package.xml location should be fixed now.

Also for the errors about /opt/android-sdk being not writeable, it can be fixed by

• allowing write permissions for the owner group chmod g+w /opt/android-sdk
• making users the group owner of the same chown root:users /opt/android-sdk

sdkmanager gives the following warning currently.

Warning: Observed package id 'cmdline-tools;latest' in inconsistent location '/opt/android-sdk/cmdline-tools' (Expected '/opt/android-sdk/cmdline-tools/latest')
Warning: Observed package id 'cmdline-tools;latest' in inconsistent location '/opt/android-sdk/cmdline-tools' (Expected '/opt/android-sdk/cmdline-tools/latest')

this can be fixed by simply moving package.xml from /opt/android-sdk/cmdline-tools to /opt/android-sdk/cmdline-tools/latest

Please fix this to remove this ugly warning

IntelliJ doesn't like this package because of

Failed to install the following SDK components:
    platforms;android-31 Android SDK Platform 31
    build-tools;33.0.1 Android SDK Build-Tools 33.0.1
The SDK directory is not writable (/opt/android-sdk)

Nitpick: Why the -latest part in the name? android-sdk-cmdline-tools seems like it would be adequate, especially since none of the related packages (android-sdk-build-tools, android-sdk-platform-tools, or android-emulator) use the -latest convention.
