Visual studio 2019 fails to download android SDKs - android

When I am downloading Visual Studio 2019 it shows me this:
Visual Studio opens and works, but when i am working on xamarin and try to install these components using the Android SDK Manager it fails to download them.
I searched the whole internet for solutions but none of them worked, I even tried to disable TLS 1.3 but that did not work either.
if you have any insights about this problem please inform me
thank you in advance

for the future if some one encountered the same problem. after a lot of experiments i found out that it will work properly if you use VPN
The reason i think is that there are some Reagons that are banned from useing google and microsoft services, so VPN will get you through that

Share Android emulator (with app installed) to someone to use without Android Studio

[Similar to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4575167/android-how-to-copy-the-emulator-to-a-friend-for-testing but the answers on that question as deprecated and ages old]
I want to share my Android Emulator with my app installed to non-developers for testing purpose. I tried some ways mentioned in the answer above but those are outdated and does not work anymore. Is there a simple way I can share my Android emulator with a simple installation script such that user can execute the emulator just with the script without having android studio or doing complex steps?

Visual Studio "FileNotFoundException : Could not load assembly" issue, but without file name?

I am trying to work on a cross-platform mobile app using xamarin with visual studio 2015. However, after downloading what I think was all of android sdk/tool, I am getting the exception from the screenshot.
I read multiple if not most of "cannot load assembly" problems from Googling, but most of them have associated file url/name while I have got none of that.
Really desperate to know if anyone had come across this since this is my first time using visual studio & C#, and I am overwhelmed by the amount of new things I am learning.
Thanks

API 24 is not fully supported in the current stable Xamarin release. It is only fully supported on a web Preview. See:
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/platform_features/introduction-to-android-n/ .
So use API 23 instead and I would uninstall API 24.
Also do not use the android sdk build tools version 24 as that has been having issues as well. See:
https://releases.xamarin.com/technical-bulletin-android-sdk-build-tools-24/

Do I have to download Android Studio if I am already using IntelliJ IDEA?

I am already using IntelliJ IDEA. Do I have to download all the Android Studio files (almost 1 GB)?
Can't I just download the SDK and continue on developing?
Yes, you can download only the SDK. You can find the download link here, under "SDK Tools Only".
My understanding is this: IntelliJ IDEA's Android plugin does not always have all the latest Android-specific features, developed by Google, that are already in Android Studio.
IDEA is fine too, but if you seriously do Android, just get Android Studio, you'll be better off with it.
(I use—and love—IntelliJ IDEA too for backend & web development. Having both installed is no problem. Who cares about 1 GB of disk space.)

Google Cloud module not visible in Android Studio

I'm running the latest version of Android Studio.
In order to use Google App Engine, I've tried to follow these simple steps.
My problem is that no module type relative to Google Cloud is visible, as you can see :
Can you help me ? I have no idea and nothing on the web helped me. Thank you in advance.
Faced the same issue today. Turned out that i have disabled Google Cloud Tools For Android Studio plugin to reduce memory. Open Settings under File Menu, then enabling the plugin and re-starting Android Studio resolved the issue.
Hope this helps.
I'm not sure, but I think one of the reasons could be because you have not installed Google Repository or similar in SDK Manager. Can you check it?

Can anyone help me with installing the correct version of eclipse to use for developing android mobile applications

Can anyone help me with installing the correct version of eclipse to use for developing android mobile applications with the associated plug ins needed
These videos by me :) can help you to set up Android development environment using Eclipse.
Here's the link : Set up android.
Caution : If you have been using Eclipse with ADT, be aware that Android Studio is now the official IDE for Android, so you should migrate to Android Studio to receive all the latest IDE updates. For help moving projects, see Migrating to Android Studio.
As Petey suggested in his comment, I would recommend giving AndroidStudio a spin as it is very well suited to Android programming. However, take a look at the eclipse ADT plugin which can be installed via the eclipse marketplace or a direct download from Google (Google ADT page).
That should give you enough information to get things rolling, but again I would strongly recommend trying to switch over to AndroidStudio. I think you will find the entire experience easier to get into and enjoy.
Here is the link :)
P.S. Why do people still use Eclipse while there is a GREAT tool for developing Android applications?
