I've downloaded x86-25_r07.zipin browser instead of downloading it in Android Studio.
How to install it?
Thanks,
If I am not wrong, you need to extract the zip file in its respective system-images folder.
The path in Windows OS will be: {username}\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\system-images\android-25\google_apis\x86_64
Where android-25 is the version, which in your case is 25.
The path in Linux & Mac will be respective to SDK's system-images folder path as SDK images does not change & are independent of OS.
If any similar system image exists on the same path, just create a new folder for your downloaded zip and extract it into that new folder. If no folder exists, then create one.
Inside android-25 folder, if your downloaded image is Google APIs then the folder name should be google_apis, if the downloaded image is Google APIs with Play Store then folder name must be google_apis_playstore
Note: This answer is based on my knowledge & previous experience in Windows, I do not hold any responsibility if you mess anything in your SDK. I strongly recommend you to first have a closer look at all the directories and folders under system-images folder to have a better understanding and easier solution.

Good Day,
I had to format my drive due to some errors, but before I did, I have copied all the zip files form the temp directory that contained the android sdk's now instead of downloading all of them again how do I install the SDK's and how do i determine where which one goes?
I have tried to set up a webserver on my localhost with all the zip files and pointed android studio to use that as a update location but for some reason it is not reading the data from there.
Please Help.
Android SDK you need to provide the location of Android base SDK folder and it shall automatically pick up Platforms folders under which all your Android version should be listed. You do not need to reinstall whole stuff.
Also make sure ANDROID_HOME and JAVA_HOME is properly set inside Environment variables and PATH
I want to use tools from Linux which not available in Android by default such as iw and iperf. I saw Android applications that use this tools (like this). There are two ways to do it.
First: get root rights on device and put file of the tool to the system/bin/ folder.
Second: put file of the tool to assets folder of Android project and somehow use it.
Applications from Play Market use second way. But I don't know, how it cuold be done. Is there any description of implementation of second way?

This the best example of what you want to do.
For putting executable in assest see

My college wifi is preventing me from downloading of large files unless i use some online proxy servers. So will it be possible?
Yes it is possible. Download it and unzip it in any folder and then use it in android studio.

I'm used to find all SDK resources (such as images, that is what I want) in folder android-sdk>platforms>android-[VERSION_NUMBER]>data>res but I can't find the new android-14 folder.
I've updated all 4.0 tools (as you can see in the image) and the API 14 emulator works
I tried downloading the SDK folder from Android Developer, but it doesn't contain images. How can I access Android 4.0 resources?
Have you tried searching for a folder with the name android-14? I'm thinking the SDK Updater might have placed it elsewhere - all though I don't know why it would have done it.
Since you have the tools installed - the folder should be there. (I have one at least).
I'm using my Dropbox folder to store my Eclipse workspace in (instant back ups) but want to develop on both Linux and Windows. (I think) the workspace file stores the location of the Android SDK which is different on both machines /home/android... and c:\android.
Is there any way of developing on Windows one minute and Linux the next? (the issue is the directory of the Android SDk.
thanks
The best solution is source version control, checkout a comparison table on Wikipedia.
I use Dropbox for this two, I switch between Windows, Mac and Linux. This is how I do it:
Put the Windows version in the Dropbox
Create a new Android Project with the same name in Linux somewhere other than Dropbox
Delete the assets, res and src folders and replace them with softlinks to the ones in Dropbox
This way each OS has it's own project files, but anytime you update a resource or code file it will update on all OS's.
