How to hide Android sdkmanager download progress bar?

Question

When I run an sdkmanager command like sdkmanager "build-tools;26.0.1" it spits out hundreds of lines in Jenkins console because of the download progress bar. Is there a way to hide it or put it in quiet mode?

I don't see an option in sdkmanager --help output. I'm considering piping the output to /dev/null.

I ended up hiding the progress bar with grep.

sdkmanager --update | grep -v = || true

You saved my life, mate. :) – Oct 21 '18 at 17:42
I much prefer this solution over the `/dev/null` pipelining, as with only hiding the progress bar, we get error messages and further information while running the SDK manager. – Jan Heinrich Reimer Feb 04 '19 at 21:46

But Google should really add `--silent` options to their SDK tools – Jan Heinrich Reimer Feb 04 '19 at 21:46

As of now the documentation lists all the arguments and there is no --silent. Pipeing it to /dev/null to silence it can be a solution.
