I'm trying to install flutter but it won't let me accept the android license. I get the following error:

PS C:\Users\XXXX> flutter doctor --android-licenses
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlSchema

I've already uninstalled my current version of Java and clean installed Java 8 from here.

This is what flutter doctor returns:

    ✗ Android license status unknown.
      Run `flutter doctor --android-licenses` to accept the SDK licenses.

Installing Android SDK Command-line tools from Android SDK Manager did the job for me.

  1. Open Android Studio
  2. Tools > SDK Manager
  3. From the left choose, Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK
  4. Select SDK Tools from the top menu
  5. Check Android SDK Command-line tools and click 'apply'.
