Installing Android SDK components fails in visual studio for mac - android

I'm trying to install some components of Android SDK in Visual Studio for mac but with some components I have problems during installation Could not find a part of path
Any ideas what's wrong?

It's not really the solution but a workaround. Only the way I found to install correct SDK and emulators is to install Android Studio and download and install sdk from it.
After I changed the location of SDK
For those who are not familiar with Android Studio, after installation and creating test project you can see in the top menu AVD Manager
After you open it you'll see a window to manage emulators
Hope this will be useful for somebody and I'll be happy ho hear real solution for this problem.

I have a problem in sdk component Installation. Can anyone help me to resolve these issues?

I am very beginner to android studio, and I want to install android studio latest version 11.0.12. on my windows 10.You can see in the attached screenshot.
Its showing multiple errors while installing. I have to install command line tool but android studio does not showing this tool to install. Flutter doctor in cmd demands to approve flutter license. How can I fix this issue?
You already have installed Android SDK build tools in your android studio, you can see in the screenshot uploaded in your question. It seems everything is okay and you are ready to start work on flutter and even without that you are good to go for development. Hope to have a good development career ahead.

Android Studio is unable to find ADB, yet I'm able to deploy to my device

The exact error I'm getting is "java.lang.Throwable: ADB not found"
I haven't found anything online matching my problems. I have already (manually) reinstalled the platform tools multiple times. And they work. I can connect to my phone, even Android Studio is able to run the project on my phone. Yet it throws that error and locks some of the features like Logcat (I can use Logcat via the shell just fine). I've also tested Android Studio 3.3 additionally, but it didn't change anything.
The google USB driver is installed too.
The ADB tool is originally installed on .../android-sdk/platform-tools/platform-tools/ and Android Studio doesn't recognise the tool inside this location. After tried all the other suggestions, the only solution that worked for me was to copy the adb file from this folder to the parent folder: .../android-sdk/platform-tools/. It worked like a charm.
Some particularities of my system:
OS: macOS Catalina
IDE: IntelliJ IDEA CE (the same occurred when I tried to work with Android Studio)
SKD installation method: installed trough Homebrew with the cask android-sdk (the same occurred when I tried to install from within Android Studio)
It seems like you installed adb drivers externally and not via Android Studio and hence they are not present inside the platform tools of the Android SDK. I would recommend installing it using Android Studio's inbuilt SDK Manager.
Steps
Open SDK Manager in Android Studio (you can find it at top right
with android logo and downward arrow and also in the Tools Menu at
the top).
In SDK Manager click on SDK Tools tab and checkmark the
Android SDK Platform Tools
Apply changes and your issue should be resolved.
I hope this helps.
I am attaching a Screenshot for your reference:-
When I opened Android Studio today, it randomly worked.
The whole "whole App chrashing on startup"-thing was a bug I introduced.

Android sdk for Intellij IDEA

I'm trying to setup IntelliJ IDEA to develop android applications and I faced an issue with android sdk. As far as I know, I need to download the sdk separately. But I all I managed to find was Android command line tools which is obviously not something I need. So my question how can I get android sdk for IntelliJ IDEA?
You can install whichever android SDK or API from Intellij. I have the 2018.1 version but I hope this works in earlier versions too. You can find the options to install the SDKs here:
Same problem I have with IDEA 2017.1.1. I installed tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip and managed to install them.
I've done:
unzipped it to C:\Android\android_sdk\
renamed "tools" folder to "tools-sdk"
executed
C:\Android\android_sdk\tools_inst\bin>sdkmanager --update
prepared file my_file with lines:
build-tools;24.0.0
platforms;android-24
tools
emulator
Executed:
C:\Android\android_sdk\tools_inst\bin>sdkmanager --package_file=my_file
Then gave IntelliJ IDEA folder C:\Android\android_sdk as Android SDK Home Folder.
Then IDEA asks to install something additional. The test android project compiles and runs on emulation (AVD Manager works). I had to install 22 Platform and Build Tools though because android-24 virtual device asked for a password.
The only problem is I still have no SDK Manager with GUI interface.
First of all make sure you'be setup JDK properly. If not, you can download it from here.
Now go to Android Developer official site and download Android Studio.
If you are already done with above mentioned points the few point you might be missing.
When asked to choose the JDK (not SDK) you need to choose the Java JDK which you've installed earlier. Should be under C:\Program Files\Java\jdk{version}
Choose a New platform ( if there's not one selected ) , the SDK platform is the android platform at C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows.
Please let me know if it didn't help.

I had the same issue. I tried downloading sdk via android eclipse setup process. Eclipse automatically downloads the sdk. This sdk has a gui sdkmanager and can be used in idea as well. Here is the link to download eclipse.
(Android Studio installed on my computer.)
As i see users missed a point while installing android SDK.
You should show the Android SDK at AppData folder to IntellijIdea.
C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Local\Android\SDK_Folder.

You can download the android SDK from this link here. I hope it should be helpful that link.

Can't access Android SDK manager in Visual studio 2015

I started few days back to learn android programming. I tried to use Eclipse and Android studio but I faced many problem (configuration) so I decided to develop android apps using XAMARIN/VS2015. I installed xamarin (android) but not android sdk manager because I installed it before using android studio. The problem is that I do not know how to link VS2015 to the previous android SDK manager already installed. Can anyone help me??
I know the folder where the sdk is unzipped in. It is even set in VS2015 but I have not idea why it is not working.
The following screenshot shows it clearly:
Thank you
You need to link your sdk, not your adb.exe path.
I have this path for sdk:
C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
You also can see this guide:

Xamarin - disconnected from layout renderer

I just downloaded xamarin studio. I get an error message "disconnected from layout renderer please close the file and try again" whenever i open a axml in the layout folder. I can view the source but can't go to the design tab to add controls. Closing the filed does not work.
I'm not sure how to find what version of xamarin.android i'm using but I just downloaded last night. When I go to the SDK manager it tells me my Android SDK Tools are version 23.0.4.
I found this old thread on the same topic. I tried renaming my tools folder and downgrading but that didnt' work either. It told me I need tools of at least version 22.
http://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/14344/disconnected-from-layout-renderer-error-after-updating-android-sdk-tools-to-version-22-6
I've tried uninstalling Xamarin Studio and reinstalling and that didn't help. I do have Visual Studio 2013 with update 3 installed too. But then I also tried installing Xamarin Studio on another laptop with Visual Studio 2012 and got the exact same problem.
Note: this error displays in both Visual Studio and Xamarin Studio.
I really hope I can get this resolved as i'm evaluating Xamarin for 2 companies. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Only this time, you need to downgrade from 23.0.4 to 23.0.2.
Just found this out the hard way.
Cheers
Thank you Balint! You made my weekend!!! Here is a direct link to the tools version that works.

I recently had this same issue when trying to open the main.xaml in Xamarin Studio for Mac OS X. Here are the steps I took to resolve the problem:
Open the Android SDK Manager in Xamarin Studio and delete the Android SDK Tools.
Re-download the SDK Tools from [https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=i]. Revision 23.0.2
Make sure the downloaded SDK is unzipped in the path /Users/username/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx
Then I launched the SDK Manager from the Terminal using cd library/developer/xamarin/android-sdk-macosx/tools ./android
When the SDK launches, make sure the Android SDK Tools is not selected, else it will update it to 23.0.5 which appears to currently be broken.
After the SDK Manager updates and installs all the packages, re-open Xamarin Studio and go to Preferences -> SDK Locations -> Android and chose the path for the Android SDK.
After following these steps I was able to successfully open the main.xaml files for Android on OS X.
