title: Android SDK manager cannot access repository: permission denied
body: <p>I initially didn't have issues with accessing the repository and installing packages through the SDK manager.  However, somehow it does and I haven't figured out the reason yet. The following message appears on the Android SDK Manager Log:</p>
  
  <p>Failed to fetch URL <a href="http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list-2.xml" rel="nofollow">http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list-2.xml</a>, reason: Permission denied: connect
  ....
  Failed to fetch URL <a href="http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository-8.xml" rel="nofollow">http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository-8.xml</a>, reason: Socket Permission denied: connect
  Done loading packages.</p>
  
  <p>I took the following actions but none have worked</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>checked the box "force https://.. sources to be fetched from
  http://"  </li>
  <li>Ran Android SDK manager exe file as an administrator </li>
  <li>launched the command prompt and ran android.bat command in the
  ../sdk/tools directory and this is what I got INFO: I/O exception
  (java.net.SocketException) caught when connecting to the target
  host:Permission denied </li>
  <li>reinstalled adt bundle to a different
  directory </li>
  <li>uninstalled and then reinstalled Java JRE and JDK </li>
  <li>disabled firewall and avg antivirus.  I don't think it's an issue
  since if I can access the repository page through the internet
  browser </li>
  <li>tried at a different location (coffee shop)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Please advise if you have experienced something similar or if the android sdk manager can be bypassed together.</p>
