I bought a course at Udemy, but the version that the instructor uses is older than mine. Thus, I couldn't finish my installation successfully. In the version that he used, there were 3 boxes to check on the first opening. Android Studio, SDK, and virtual device. He checked all of them. But mine doesn't have SDK box at all.
I am totally new to the Android studio and using windows 10. How should I install the sdk?
Install Android Studio, and if you want to configure SDK settings or whatever that is related to SDK, go to Tools -> SDK Manager
If you want to configure virtual devices go to Tools -> AVD Manager.
see the Android Studio intro, which explains how to use the SDK manager.
it's toolbar icon had been changed recently, which may lead to confusion.
use x86 emulator images for best performance, when HAXM is supported.

I am attempting to play around a little with xamarin within Visual Studio 2019. I built a new Xamarin Android application and just want to run the base code in the emulator, but I am getting the error in the image below. When I installed VS2019, I did so with the xamarin features including the SDK on my secondary drive and I can see the sdk file on my secondary drive, but am fairly sure that VS2019 is looking with my primary drive for some reason. Is there a way to fix this?
I don't bother with the SDK or emulator packages through the visual studio installer anymore. Install Android Studio, use the tools in that to download the SDK and setup the devices you want to emulate. Then back in Visual Studio, set the paths in the Xamarin/Android Settings in the options menu. Mine look something like this:
Android SDK Location: C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
Android NDK Location: C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk-bundle
This setup seems to have much support for Android and gives you the various Google apps and services in the emulators.
Fist, you should check your android sdk path by Tools > Options > Xamarin > Android Settings to view and set the Android SDK location:
For more details, you can check here.
Meanwhile, you should check the Android SDKs and Tools by steps: Tools-> Android->
Android SDK Manager...,then you need install the platforms and Tools you need.E.g.
It seems a little bit late, but I faced this issue and I did the following to sort it out:
Be sure that the BIOS virtualization is enabled
Run the VS2019 as an administrator and run the Android device manager
Wait a for seconds it takes some times
After getting the screen of the Android device manager press the (+) plus button
If you get the menu titled New Device then cancel the creation of a new device
close VS2019 and log out the administrator account
Log in again with your account and run the Android device manager
Hope this may help
I'm just starting Jesse Liberty's new Pluralsight course, "Building Your First Mobile Application with Xamarin.Forms and Visual Studio 2017" and I'm running into a problem right out of the gate.
In the video, Jesse creates a new Xamarin.Forms project, modifies the XAML a bit, and runs it. Here is a screenshot of his list of emulators:
I've disabled Hyper-V, and installed the latest Intel HAXM.
I've followed along step-by-step, using the latest version of VS2017 (installed yesterday, no updates available), and I've used the Android SDK Manager to install the SDK Platforms APIs 23 - 27. More specifically, I've installed every available option for Android 6 (API 23), which is what shows in Jesse's list.
I have set the following Android project Properties:
Application :: Target Framework = Use Latest Platform (Android 8.0 Oreo)
Android Manifest :: Minimum Version = Android 6.0 (API 23 - Marshmallow)
Android Manifest :: Target Version = Android 8.0 (API 26 - Oreo)
When I open the dropdown, I don't even see the VisualStudio_android emulators at all, and I'd assume they come preinstalled with VS2017 when I install Xamarin, but no:
I have no idea where to get the Visual Studio emulators; but, as I understand it, they run much faster than others so figuring this out will probably be worth my time.
The Android Virtual Device (AVD) Manager doesn't list the VS emulators, so I can't add them from there. I know there is an Android emulator from Microsoft but it says it's Hyper-V compatible, and I've just disabled Hyper-V to use the other emulators. Is this a good choice? Are these the emulators I'm missing?
I'm out of ideas - what's my next step?
They have been renamed to streamline development. We only install a minimal amount of emulators. They used to be named visualstudio_ and now just android_ but you can create as many as you want.
I use intel haxm x86 emulators from google.
It turns out, the emulators weren't installed for some reason when I installed VS2017 and the Mobile Development Workflow.
I went into the "Individual Components" tab in the Visual Studio Installer, checked the emulator boxes, and all the emulators show up fine now.
Try uninstalling visual studio and then installing it again (save your projects first) and make sure that you install the Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android. Check everywhere in the installation guide (Specifically under Cross platform mobile development). You might have missed it during your installation process.
I just recently installed Android Studio (Version 2.3) so I could use the SDK / AVD GUI manager built in now that the standalone is deprecated. I'm on Windows 10 and this is a fresh install. My goal is to be able to setup a virtual device as well as setup my own android device to run a NativeScript app. After install the SDK button is available, but the AVD button is disabled (below).
I have the Android 7.1.1 (Nougat) SDK Platform installed and the Intel x86 Emulator Acc. installed (below). This is all default installs so far.
I've tried installing / reinstalling as admin as well as opening as admin per this post to no avail.
The Android SDK home path, build target, and Java SDK are setup in the project structure by default correctly as well.
Any thoughts on what I'm missing here?
As a side note the android help page for creating AVD's lists a menu option (tools -> android ) which doesn't exist.
My issue was Android Studio does not understand where to load the nativescript android project even after adding android as a platform (If someone knows a way around this, feel free to post). In my particular case I'm testing the angular-seed-advanced. To at least get the command line working (AVD manager is still greyed out):
Create a new blank android "test" project in android studio
The AVD Manager becomes available
Setup an virtual devices as necessary
Reopen nativescript project
use command npm run start.android
prepare, build, run and livesync will work as expected now.
Hope this helps someone else get started.
I have a quite big problem as accidentally removed the file, it is already removed from the bin on Mac. Now in Android Studio I cannot run emulator and I get the below message:
Can anyone help me please? What should I do now? Is there any way I can reinstall this missing file for Android studio?
Many thanks in advance!
EDIT: My problem was a missing .exe file: qemu-system-i386. I couldn't find any working solution, tried installing various images versions, was creating new emulators. I decided to uninstall Android Studio and proceed with the new installation. I used a free tool, AppCleaner, to remove the Android Studio, you can read more about this here: http://lifehacker.com/5828738/the-best-app-uninstaller-for-mac. But still had to remove manually the entire sdk tools directory. You can actually do the same from the terminal, here is the thread how to do it: How to completely uninstall Android Studio?
Anyway, the important thing it is working now! :D
1) Open the SDK manager (see the image below):
[
2) Launch the stand alone SDK manager
3) Ensure that you have downloaded and installed the SDKs and tools for Android version that you'd like to emulate. In my case I use API 25. You should also have the Intel x86 Intel Atom System images installed.
4) Then open the AVD Manager and "Create a Virtual Device"
5) Select the API level that corresponds to the one you installed in the previous steps. In the newer versions of Android Studio you can also download and install the System Image you desire in this menu.
I have Eclipse Juno IDE Service Release 2.
Basically, I don't know much about Android ADT,SDK,AVD, Tools, plugins and all.
SIC: I don't want to download full ADT again.
I want to install all the latest tools left for android for my Eclipse. I have done with the following (latest version downloaded today) :
And now, I want to add other plugins as well (please tell me what's left).
Also , I have downloaded and installed SDK Tools today (again, latest version).
Following are the files I downloaded and installed (SDK Tools) for latest version (exe file was of 88 MB or something)..
I am also unable to open SDK Manager from both Eclipse and Windows explorer. So, please don't suggest me to open SDK Manager and check this and this.
Thanks a lot in advance !!
no other way other than opening sdk manager.
SDK - Software Development Kit - It is a development kit particular for different platforms. They are needed to integrate java with that particual platform.
AVD - Android Virtual Device - An android phones inside your computer. Whenever u r building an app, rather than trying it everytime in your phone, u can use AVD. It opens Android OS.
1) u need to download buid-tools
2) AVD manager (if u dont already have it)
3) System Images - as mentioned above about AVD, it runs android OS inside your computer. So to run android, u need its system images (if u want to run android kitkat, u nedd system images for that version)
