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:

I want to develop an Android app using Intellij, as Android Studio is based on it,but when I try to set the project, it tells me that I have no Android SDK installed and when I give the path to the already installed Android SDK it freezes at the installation.it freezes when I try to Reinstall the SDK too.I tried the solutions proposed here but none of them is working .Is there any Solution to this probleme or should I just use Android Studion instead?
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 installed the xamarin studio and other components and after installing the sdk for it says that the android sdk not found at specific location.
I tried both zip and exe from the following url but in vain.

Install android studio and then point the sdk towards the sdk that comes with android studio solved the problem in some cases when there is problem with downloading android sdk from the site or missing some files.
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.

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.

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.
I have already installed Android 2.3.3 and also pointed the path to my Android SDK in Preferences.
But I am getting the following error:
An Android SDK is missing. Titanium requires Android platform: 2.3.3 or above.
Can anyone help me?
Error mean you need to install Android 2.3.3 (API 10). It's because Titanium requires API 10 to work with Android.
Try the following
Open Titanium Studio
Click on the dashboard button in your Titanium Studio
A new page will be opened as shown in figure 1
4. Click on Android SDK. Here in my case, I have already configured Android SDK properly. That is why the icon shows green otherwise it will display red just like Tizen SDK.
It will ask you to download the SDK. Please select the required SDKS and download them. You can see the installed SDKs also. However try to select all the SDK which will fix your issue quickly. Note that it will download all the SDKs so it's little time consuming.
Edit : You can also refer Install Android SDK with Titanium and Installing Platform SDKs
Hope this helped you!!
