I am new to android and I need android sdk in my gluon project. In latest release of android studio , the android sdk is not bundled up with android studio. So, I downloaded the sdk tools only(zip). I tried all the ways mentioned on stack overflow to run sdkmanager, but every trick failed. Isn't there any simple way of getting android sdk?
Open android studio and go to the following path then you can download your SDK tools:
file -> settings -> appearance and behavior --> system settings --> android sdk

I am currently coding in Visual Studio 2022 Community Preview. I googled my problem and there I found that changing the repository to Google would solve the problem, but in my android SDK manager, there is no option for changing the repository.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Visual Studio includes an Android SDK Manager that you use to download Android SDK tools, platforms, and other components that you need for developing Xamarin.Android apps.
See Tools -> Android -> Android SDK Manager.
Under Platforms you'll find various Android versions for the emulator and under Tools you can install various tools.
Also
See Tools -> Options -> Xamarin -> Android Settings
and make sure that the Auto Install Android SDKs is checked.
There is a folder path called Android SDK Location, if it's empty you can browse for it in your computer yourself to find it.
I'm trying to free up some disk space and so would like one copy of the Android SDK only, aside from not wanting to maintain two of them. Currently I have one installed for each Android Studio and Visual Studio.
I noticed that there is now a separate, Xamarin specific Android SDK manager that Visual Studio uses in place of the one provided by the Android SDK itself.
Also, Visual Studio's Android NDK is located at "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\AndroidNDK". I don't recall installing it there specifically (probably used a default location), but suppose Android Studio could be pointed at it as well.
Can Android Studio and Visual Studio safely share the same Android SDK?
The answer is Yes, I have done this for a long time and it works fine.
In Visual Studio, Xamarin Android SDK default location is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\AndroidNDK64
In Android Studio, SDK default location is:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk-bundle
Use Visual Studio Android SDK only
You could refer to my answer:
Open Android Studio, go to File -> Project Structure
Change the SDK location to your Visual Studio SDK Location
a. Change it to Xamarin Android SDK Location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
b. There is a problem when you change the SDK Location: cannot contain whitespace. You could open CMD as Administrator and type: mklink /J C:\Program-Files-(x86) "C:\Program Files (x86)", like this.
c. Then you could change the SDK Location, effect.
Use Android Studio Android SDK only
You just need change Xamarin Android settings as the above picture. You could find it in:
Tools -> Options -> Xamarin -> Android Setting
It is that new visual studio specific sdk manager I'm worried about.
As #Muhammad said, it won’t broke anything.
Yes, you can. There is no problem at all. You can specify custom SDK path in both Android studio and Visual studio.
Yes for sure, when install visual studio 2017 you can mark in sdk global in individual components tab, and at the end its a path you referring to it in visual studio and android studio.
If you talk about manage this sdk, visual studio 2015 and older versions of visual studio 2017 uses same android sdk manager but lately there is a new sdk manager related to visual studio only not shared between android studio and visually studio
As specified here, I should not need to install ADT if I have Android Studio and SDK installed.
I'm trying to test this in response to a customer's question on whether or not you can use Android Studio instead of ADT. Because ADT is no longer supported as stated here.
Here's my steps:
install eclipse.
Install MobileFirst Studio v6.3 from eclipse marketplace.
Install Android Studio (which also installed Android SDK), able to launch Android Studio and run an empty app.
Specify the location of Android Studio in Window > Preferences > MobileFirst.
Create MFP project, add Android environment.
From menus select Run As > Build All Environments.
At this point the build failed. Do I still have to install ADT in order to be able to build?
UPDATE:
Error Log
[2015-01-30 12:50:22] Starting build process: application 'demo', all environments
[2015-01-30 12:50:29] FWLST1125W: Android build will fail because an Android SDK was not installed. Use the Android SDK Manager to install API level 19, configure your project to build with API level 19 by updating the Project Build Target in Project / Properties / Android dialog.
[2015-01-30 12:50:30] Application 'demo' with all environments build finished.
Because you selected the Run As > Build all, this will indeed give you the Warning you have mentioned since you do not have ADT installed. Because you do not have ADT installed, the usual generated Android project that Worklight/MFP generates for you will fail to generate.
If you want to open your project in Android Studio, you should right-click the Android environment and select Run As > Android Studio Project.
The project should then correctly open in Android Studio.
I had the same problem with the beta version (MFPF 6.3) for Windows. The solution was to install the Fix Pack 6.3.0.0-MFPF-StudioP2-IF201502141702.zip found here. After installation you must reconfigure the path of Android Studio (Windows > Preferences > MobileFirst)
I am not sure if this will be of help, as this is a very old post. Try pointing to android studio home and not to bin folder. Some thing like C:\IBM\Android Studio.
I have also faced the same issue and solved it by pointing to android studio home folder.
In my system(Windows Xp) first i integrate the android sdk to Eclipse indigo. But now i want to integrate the android sdk to Eclipse helios.How to do that? I tried but i am not getting. For this i removed the eclipse indigo and corresponding android sdk. after that i downloaded the eclipse helios and android sdk. open the eclipse it shows the android adk and avd manger icon. it shows error about android sdk path.How to install (like fresh) android sdk in eclipse helios? How to do that please can any body help me.
Just for changing the eclipse, you need not have removed the Android SDK. You can use the same SDK in different versions of Eclipse.
When you say you can see the SDK Manager and AVD Manager icons, I assume that you have successfully installed ADT.
To correct the Android SDK path error, go to Window -> Preferences -> Android. On the preferences pane, click the Browse button next to SDK Locations and browse to the path where you have installed the Android SDK (For example C:\Android\android-sdk-windows) and click Apply
Have you provided path for the android SDK in the preferences? If not then Go to Window > Preferences > Android and provide path your android SDK.

I am using Eclipse IDE to develop android apps. But I want to use Netbeans IDE for developing Android apps. Android SDK works fine with previous version of Netbeans IDE. But it can not added to Netbeans 7.0 using Android plugin. So, is it possible to run Android SDK using netbeans 7 ???
Any suggestion or tutorial will greatly appreciated.
After installing Android plugin, to locate Android SDK you have to go to Tools > Options > Misc > Android and select here the location of your SDK.
add the following XML file to your plug in -> setting
http://kenai.com/projects/nbandroid/downloads/download/updatecenter/updates.xml
then download the SDK
after that you can add your platform to SDK
