Is there any way to install older versions of android SDK via Android Studio? I don't want to use suspicious download links from the internet and want to be able download it directly from Google. Is it possible?
P.S. My question is not a duplicate of another one because the other one doesn't consist exact direct instruction about Android studio with the desired button I was searching for.
In Android Studio, got to File > Settings. Then go to Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK. Open the SDK Platforms tab and, check any SDK versions you want to use.The IDE will download the sources and any other parts of the checked SDK's.

To developer Android application we need to configure Android SDK either in Eclipse or in Android Studio.
I want to copy Android SDK in shared memory(hard disk) so everyone configures there eclipse or Android Studio from this place.
So when I will update Android SDK then it will reflect to all the developers.
If we update SDK to each developer system then it will consume lots of data.
That's why I want to maintain one global Android SDK which will use by everyone.
Is this possible, or is there any way to do this?
I have so many android ndks and sdks installed in my laptop and takes up space.
Because I use Android Studio I think I shouldn't uninstall the sdk but there are so many ndks.
Also, that I use Xamarin, I need one package of ndks so I thought which one should I uninstall.
And I can't see them in Programs and Features.
I'm using Windows, by the way. Any ideas?
I can't see them in Programs and Features.
The NDKs aren't "installed" like typical Windows programs. They are just extracted zip files. To remove them you just delete them from your file system.
To remove any downloaded with Android Studio, they can be removed via the SDK Manager in Android Studio. For things installed with other tools, they might have a similar solution.
You can have one installation of Android SDK/NDK and delete the rest. You can manually set the SDK and Path in the Visual Studio and Android Studio to use
Sir
I have a project having only src and res folder
And I know that it is targets api 22
And it need library Google play service and v7 compat .
How do I create a project in eclipse or Android studio having above things please help?
Refer to this for everything you need to know: http://developer.android.com/develop/index.html
EDIT:
In Android Studio, look in the toolbar for File->New->New Project. Android Studio will guide you through the process and you can specify your target API and things from there on.
Google does not develop the ADT plugin(the required plugin so you can develop android in eclipse) and they recomend you transfer to Android studio. I have had that same problem with appcompat crap and it is solvable in two ways(as far as I have seen):
1: Use Android Studio instead, as it really truly supports all android related dev requirements, including app compat.
2: In your project, set minimum API level to Android 4.0.3 or above. This way you prevent the requirement for appcompat.
I recently transfered from Eclipse to Android Studio, and the transition was easy, and once I found out how I could use the Eclipse keybindings, it was just the GUI that was different. It is really easy geting used to Android Studio, and I recomend you start using it as soon as you can. It will solve most of your problems related to appcompat and other libraries that needs to be added to support earlier versions of Android
As you see on the image, there is a "Minumum required SDK". The minimum SDK and target SDK are two different options, and target should be the newest SDK, while minimum should be(in my opinion) Android 4.0.3 or higher. According to Google, this allows you to reach about 90% of all Android users
EDIT
Using Android Studio, as long as the SDK has everything installed and Android Studio is as new as possible, it will add appcompat v7 automatically without issues. Eclipse's ADT plugin is outdated and probably doesn't support appcompat anymore. I personally preffer eclipse, but due to android issues, I had to move over to Android Studio
I have seen from this question that Intellij Idea (Ultimate) comes configured with all Android Studio plugins.
But I reckon Android Studio also comes with a preconfigured Android SDK.
I believe Intellij doesn't come with Android SDK does it ? So should I install Android SDK normally or are there special things to do to make it work nicely with Intellij ?
You need to download and extract the SDK manually.
Make sure you enable android support:
File->Settings->Plugins->Android Support
For better workflow I recommend adding the android specific actions to the menu bar:
File->Settings->Appearance & Behaviour -> Menus and Toolbars

Wonder if It's posible to programming on Aptana Studio for Android market?
I saw in the new flash version CS5 it's posible to create a new android project and create a APK package.
does this thing posible in Aptana Studio 3? if so, how? Should I need to download some SDK?
Thank you.
Yes, it's possible!
Just follow the instructions for "Downloading the ADT Plugin" for Eclipse and everything should work just fine. After installation is done, you can install the SDKs for different versions of Android and sample projects by going (in Aptana) to Window > Android SDK Manager or add custom Android Virtual Devices (AVD) by going to Window > AVD Manager.
Here's also a short video on how to create a project using the samples and run it in a virtual device.
It's not possible in Aptana Studio 3 per se. However, Aptana was acquired by Appcelerator. They have a product called Titanium Studio, which is built on Aptana Studio 3 but adds the ability to create mobile apps for iOS, Android, etc. (all from one codebase -- JavaScript).

If you want to code your app for Android in Java, then go with Ionut's approach and the ADT plugin.
