Using Android Studio 3.0 / SDK Manager
In trying to set up BILLING, tutorials show installing it through Extras in SDK Manager.
I don't have an Extras folder in SDK manager and can't find any reason why, how to get it, what's wrong, or what to do.
Help. please?
UPDATE: Here's what my SDK Manager looks like:
UPDATE: Here's my SDK Manager Updates Tab
You're using an outdated tutorial.
If you're doing native Android development, you should be using the Play Billing Library, which does not require installing anything via the SDK Manager.
If you really need to install the Billing Library directly, you can find it in the SDK Tools tab of the SDK Manager:
Correct answer is: don't need Android Studio for Cordova.

I downloaded the latest version (3.2.1) of Android Studio from the Android Developers site.
After installing the application, it won't start. I get an error message when clicking on "Start a new Android Studio project":
Your Android SDK is missing, out of date or corrupted.
I read an outdated post dealing with the same issue but an older version of the application. I followed the solution described there and got stuck after navigating to Configure > Project Defaults > Project Structure. This is the window I see right now:
I can't find the SDK. Where is it located? Does it not get installed together with the app? If so, where can I download it from?

together with the app? If so, where can I download it from?
That depends on how you installed the Android Studio. With the SDK packages (called bundle) or you have installed it separately which doesn't have SDK packages.
Where is it located
It's mostly uses:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
Directory on windows if you install SDK Manager, it will be easy to figured out.
where can I download it from
After installing Android SDK Manager, you'll need to download some packages like;
Platform-tools
Build-tools
Support library
And etc
To be able to compile-use Android Studio which is a general question and use Google for that.
I needed to move my sdk folder because the path didn't use to allow it run
Then it is in C:
But the sdk manager doesnt open in xamarin anymore
nether in the windows menu...
Do I need move it again?
How can I solve that?
Google removed the GUI for SDK starting from version 26. If you're using version 26, try downgrading to version 25. Remember that you can still open the SDK from Android Studio.
Source: Is GUI for Android SDK manager gone?
Alternative
You can use an open source GUI interface based on sdkmanager.bat: B4A Sdk Manager
It can be useful for any developer who doesn't use Android Studio.
While updating few latest packages in my Android Studio 2.1.1, two of the packages need me to 'Exit Android Studio and Launch Standalone SDK Manager' (see image link)

How do I do that?
Also, Launch Standalone SDK Manager Option in the Tools> Android> SDKManager file doesn't work.
Please help!
You can try going to C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Android\sdk from command prompt and launch SDK Manager.exe
You can open it from your sdk path which in my case is
C:\Users\Akshay\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
Double click on SDK Manager.exe and it will open standalone SDK manager, refer attached Screenshot.
It appears that you can no longer open the standalone SDK or AVD Manager in the later versions of Android Studio. At least, that appears to be the case for for Android Studio 3.0 beta versions. I did read a post where someone claimed that the standalone versions have been deprecated. Navigating to Android Studio SDK location and double clicking on either "SDK Manager" or "AVD Manager" doesn't bring up the standalone managers anymore. I believe that's the way its intended to work. I have read that some people have downloaded and installed the Android SDK independent of Android Studio and are able to bring up a standalone version. I've not tried this since I'm not exactly sure where one would get an official Android SDK. The official site has it bundled with android studio. They only reason I was trying to bring up a standalone version was that someone suggested that if it could be used to install the Oriel Google play x86 emulator, which apparently doesn't give the bogus "Emulator: qemu-system-i386.exe: goldfish_battery_read: Bad offset .. " errors. It's just a nuisance error message so I wasn't that interested in seeing this that would eliminate that bogus error message. I've installed that emulator using the SDK manager in Android Studio itself, but I'm not able to configure an emulator that uses it using the built in AVD Manager. Not sure why, but it is after all a beta version of Android Studio.
extra android m2 repository,extra google m2 repository and 2 more sdk components were not installed.
This message was displaying after the installation of Android studio.
Some components as Android sdk manager and AVD are not working properly.
Please guide me how to fix the problem.
Try to open Android SDK Manager and Select Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platform-tools and update and then restart Android SDK Manager you will find Extras now install Android Support Repository inside Extras.If this doesn't help i guess you have to Re-install the software while reinstalling keep your internet connection on it may download packages and files form internet.
See to it that you have downloaded Android SDK properly without any issue.
I hope this answer helps..
I accidentally deleted some of the plugins inside Extras Folder in Android SDK. Coz it looks broke. Now my problem is I dont know how to recover it. And my android emulator is not working coz it cant select device that the Google provides. Can someone tell me what to do.
Just open the SDK Manager and redownload the missing things.
You can download whatever gets deleted using Android SDK Manager
I'm pretty sure you can patch your install with the packages from the SDK download: [http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html]
Once you have downloaded the package install the sdk and all the required API's. These are the stand-alone Android SDK Tools. The packages provide the basic SDK tools for app development.
I have the same problem. In my case, I have been deleted android support library accidentally. When I want to re-install this package, it not show in list of my extras in Android SDK Manager.
If I run my Android SDK Manager from Eclipse, the missing packages not shown. But when I go to my SDK directory and manually run SDKManager.exe as administrator, It's work.
and the result is :
