I just got the latest version of Android Studio 4.0 and when I create a new project it automatically downloads the Android SDK Platform 29.
I disabled updating in the settings and it still downloads that SDK.
Is there any way to disable it, or do I have to revert back to Android Studio 3.6.3?

Well, I updated to Android Studio 4.0 yesterday, but I can't gradle sync. I always get
could not download builder.jar: no cached version available for offline mode
When I get this error in previous version, I just goto File>Settings>Gradle>Android Studio and tick use embedded repository. But now I can't find that function in new Android Studio 4.0
I've installed "eclipse-java-2018-09-linux-gtk-x86_64" on ubuntu 18.04 and add ADT to eclipse for android development.
When I open eclipse an error message is shown about getting the required ADT version number from SDK and suggesting to fix it using SDK Manager, But when I try to open the SDK Manager it won't run.
The latest version of android SDK won't work with eclipse because eclipse's support has been removed. but it is still possible to create android app using eclipse by using the older version of SDK. try to download android SDK tools 22. Extract it in your home folder, set it in eclipse Windows-preferences-android-sdk_path. do not update any sdk components higher than 22. here is my screen shot of android sdk manager that works fine on ubuntu 16.04 32-bit system with eclipse kepler. if you want to use latest version of SDK then you have to use android-studio.
I download and install android studio 3.0.1 from developer.android.com. but that package did not have any sdk manager. before I had android studio 2.3.1 and I had sdk 25 for that . now I uninstall 2.3.1 and install 3.0.1.
which version of SDK I should download for android studio 3.0.1 and how I should install it? I have a picture from my gradle in android studio 3.0:
from file menu open
settings>Appearance & Behaviour>System Settings>Android SDK
click on SDK Tools, check on show package details
this will display the details in android SDK Build-tools, you can check "on" 26.0.2 to download it.
make sure you have internet connection, if any problems appears while downloading this package, then you have to be sure that proxy settings is correct if you are using it.
another solution is by trying to build the project with newer build tools that you have already downloaded.
I am developing an Android app in Visual Studio. In the Android SDK manager, all API's from API level 23 (Android 6.0) to API level 25 (Android 7.1) are installed.
But when I open the project properties in Visual Studio, the "Compile using Android version" option is showing apis only till 23(Android 6.0). I want to target 7.1 as most of the smartphones will now have it.
There are another problem if I go with Android 6.0. Some packages like Xamarin.Firebase.Messaging fails to install with the following error.
Install-Package: Could not install package 'Xamarin.Firebase.Messaging 42.1001.0'.
You are trying to install this package into a
project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=v6.0', but the package does not contain
any assembly references or content files that are
compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
I can see that all options available under API level 25 are installed in SDK manager. Kindly help me so that i can target Android 7.1 from the Visual Studio Android app. Thanks
Is your Xamarin installation up to date? I suspect that your version of Xamarin.Android is 6.x which means that you won't be able to target Android 7.0 or 7.1 even if they are installed through the SDK manager. You can check the version from Help > About Microsoft Visual Studio.
For example, my version is 7.1.0.19 and I'm able to target Androd 7.1 just fine.
To check for updates, you should open Tools > Options > Xamarin > Other and click Check now.
Update for Visual Studio 2017:
If you're using Visual Studio 2017 or newer, Xamarin updates are delivered as part of Visual Studio updates. To manually check for updates, go to Tools > Extensions and Updates... In the left hand menu, open Updates and select Product Updates. If there are updates available, they will be shown on this list.
In Visual Studio 2017 preview there is an improved Google Android emulation support with a new Android emulator that's built into Visual Studio (this supercedes the Visual Studio Emulator for Android):
I checked it this morning and it had Android emulators up to API 27 including Oreo.
However, I did try to trigger API 28 P-Type even switching the SDK Manager from the Microsoft repository to the Google repository but it still didn't show up, but, at least you got everything you need up to API 27.

I have downloaded some projects of android apk to learn from it ..
i try to open it using the latest version of android studio (2.2.3) , but it's take too long time and then stop ,I looked for a solution to this problem and found that these applications were built on previous versions of the sdk So to solve this problem, I should use an earlier version of Android Studio, so I want to know what is the Android studio version which have Android 5.1 (API level 22).
You can have a single installation of Android Studio and all the SDKs you want to use (partially or fully installed)
You have to download the sdk via sdk manager download the latest sdk
