Visual Studio 2015 - Android SDK version is too old - android

I created a blank Android App and I get the following error when I try to view designer for Main.axml.
[Something went wrong]
The installed Android SDK is too old. Version 25.1.3 or newer is
required. Please update the latest version.
But I already have the latest version: Android SDK Tools 25.2.2
Please help me.

Here is the process that worked for me:
Install 64-bit JDK 1.8
Update Android SDK Tools, Platform-tools, and Build-tools. Close SDK
Manager and repeat if the version required in the warning isn’t
shown. You may need to exit Visual Studio if you get "Warning! A
folder failed to be moved"
Make sure the Android settings in Visual Studio are pointing to the
right locations: Tools > Options > Xamarin > Android Settings
This is the full post about what I did to resolve this issue.

Installing Android SDK and ADT in eclipse

I am trying to start Android Development and trying to do so using the ADT plugin in my Eclipse Mars(Windows 10)
I have installed the ADT plugin in my eclipse version 23.0.7.2120684.
Also I have downloaded the SDK tools(tools_r25.2.3-windows) and extracted it to D:/eclipse\SDK.
But everytime I open Eclipse and click on Windows->Preferences ->and enter the SDK Location as D:/eclipse\SDK which is the SDK folder I am getting the below error:
The Android SDK requires the new Build Tools component to be installed.
Please open the SDK Manager and install "Android SDK Build-tools"
I click on Open SDK Manager and nothing happens, but I get an error message in the console:
[2017-04-10 22:56:35 - SDK Manager] [SDK Manager] Error: Expected verb after global parameters but found 'sdk' instead.
Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong here. Most of the installation guides/steps found on the net are a bit redundant since they are quite old.
As of Android SDK Tools Revision 25.3.0 removes obsolete/deprecated tools, see Release Notes, and as ADT plugin is no longer supported it cannot work with it.
However revision 25.2.3 should be working. If you still want to use Eclipse try to look at Eclipse Neon for Android Developers.
Eclipse no longer supports Android Application Development. Announcement here.
You might install Android Studio or Intellij Idea to create android apps using java.

Can’t open Xamarin Android .axml file: The installed Android SDK is too old. Version 25.1.3 or newer is required. Please update to the latest version

I'm using Visual Studio and am unable to open layout files in the Xamarin Android Designer. I get this error when I try:

The installed Android SDK is too old. Version 25.1.3 or newer is required. Please update to the latest
version.
I’ve already updated Xamarin, and am still stuck. How can this be fixed?
I recently ran into The installed Android SDK is too old. Version 25.1.3 or newer is required. Please update to the latest version. myself and found that I had to update the Android SDK in two stages to get things working.
As other users have mentioned, only updates for version 24.x.x were showing, while version 25.x.x was nowhere to be found. I installed the available updates for Tools, Platform-Tools, and Build-Tools, then exited and reopened the Android SDK Manager. This worked; version 25.x.x was now available for installation.
tl, dr;
Install 64-bit JDK 1.8
Update Android SDK Tools, Platform-tools, and Build-tools. Close SDK Manager and repeat if the version required in the warning isn’t
shown. You may need to exit Visual Studio if you get "Warning! A
folder failed to be moved"
Make sure the Android settings in Visual Studio are pointing to the
right locations: Tools > Options > Xamarin > Android Settings
Keep the Xamarin installation up to date! Tools > Options > Xamarin > Other > “Check Now”
Unsure if that was a one-off, I decided to do a fresh Xamarin installation with Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10. Here is how I reproduced the issue and got back to working with layout files. This is long and these steps can probably be streamlined, but I wanted to give a clear picture of what I did.
Here is my step-by-step process:
Download Xamarin for Windows
Update to Xamarin latest Stable: Tools > Options > Xamarin > Other > “Check Now”
Open Android SDK Manager, update Build-tools from v23.0.3 to v24.0.3
Uninstall Build-tools v23.0.3, close SDK Manager
Close & reopen layout file, get "too old" message
Open SDK Manager, update to Build-tools v25, uninstall Build-tools v24.0.3
Close SDK manager & layout file
Reopen open layout file, get same message
Open SDK Manager, update to Platform-tools v25
Close SDK Manager & layout file
Reopen layout file, still too old
Open SDK Manager, update SDK Tools from v25.1.2 to v25.2.2
Here, I got the same warning mentioned in another SO post
Carrying on:
Exit Visual Studio; dismiss warning and process continues fine
The warning came back; dismissing again allows process to complete
Close SDK Manager, open Visual Studio, load Android project, open and layout file. Success! I can view layout files again.
There are a few additional things I’d like to mention to minimize potential snags/confusion:
Android Studio is not required. In addition to the prompt in the “SDK is too old” message, the Android SDK Manager can be opened via Tools > Android > Android SDK Manager or the SDK Manager toolbar icon.
My personal practice is to have only one version of the Build-tools installed to help minimize potential conflict or upstream issues, such as a couple that came up while using “version 24”.
Xamarin.Android 7.0 requires JDK 1.8. If you have not already done so, consider installing 64-bit JDK 1.8. This is the simplest option since it is backwards compatible with all previous API levels, it supports the new Android designer features, and the 64-bit version is required to use custom controls in the Android designer.
After updating, go to Tools > Options > Xamarin > Android Settings to verify that the correct locations are pointed to for the JDK, Android SDK, and Android NDK.
I’d also like to note that Android SDK updates are not specific to Xamarin. If we’re developing for Android, we need these tools for things like emulators, debugging, signing APKs, and accessing the newest platform features, whether using Xamarin or not.
For the curious, more details can be found here:
- Android Studio Command Line Tools doc
- What are the Android SDK build-tools, platform-tools and tools? And which version should be used?
I've solved this problem. First, download Android SDK tool 25.1.3 from Google here and extract it.
Then, remove the existing 'tools' folder under SDK like D:\\android-sdk\tools.
After removing it, put the 'tools' folder you recently extracted under the android-sdk path.
Finally, restart your vs. This is working sucessfully for me. I'm running on Windows 7 32-bit.

Error while importing cordova project to android studio

I'm getting following error when im trying to import a cordova project.
But i have build tools 19.1, 20 and higher.
I have latest cordova version 5.1.1
please refer the below image.
This is my SDK manager.
I have checked lot of stackoverflow questions. But no use
Any help appreciated.
The Android Build Tools are part of the official Android SDK. You can install them by clicking Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager, then find and check the required build tools and click "Install X packages...".
Check if you have that specific version (19.1.0) since there are 5 19.x versions.
This was the problem with my SDK Bundle.I have re-downloaded the whole sdk package and my error gone.

Latest ADT and sdk tools installed but still asking for latest sdk tools [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Android ADT version required 20.0.0 and above
(10 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I have just installed Eclipse Juno and installed the ADT plugin 20.0.3 but I am still getting this message on every eclipse launch saying "This version of ADT requires android sdk tools in revision 20.0.0 or above.current revision is 18.0.0.Please upgrade your sdk to latest version".The sdk tools I pointed to in preferences are up to date because tomorrow I was working on Eclipse Indigo(Which also had ADT 20.0.3 installed) and had all the sdk tools updated.I just pointed the same sdk folder in Juno.Please help thank you
Actually, the solution involves no delete or download of the whole installer.
After you update the Eclipse ADT, you just have to update the SDK tools in the SDK manager too.
The trick is open SDK manager -> Packages menu -> Reload. Then the latest revision will be available to update. It's just that simple, but actually annoying at first.
I was having this issue as well except I was getting it for ADT 21 and the message was as follows:
"This version of ADT requires Android SDK tools revision 21.0.0 rc9 or above".
I was not able to update to SDK tools 21.0.0 rc9 using SDK Manager. I found that I had to re-install the SDK Tools for Windows by downloading installer_r1-windows.exe
I found this link on the Get the Android SDK page.
After installing this, my SDK Manager showed SDK Tools 21 as being installed and gave me the option to download the Android 4.2 Platform.
I had the same issue,
go to C:// -> Program Files -> Android
There should only be one folder there, I had more than one (from previous SDK downloads).
Eclipse is confused and is using the wrong one. Delete the outdated folder(s), keep the most recent SDK download.
Re-launch Eclipse, it should pop up an error saying it couldn't find your SDK folder. It give you a button labelled "preferences" in that error. Go to preferences and adjust the path to the only folder found in program files -> android.
Although I had set the proxy settings in the Eclipse Network settings, they weren't used by the SDK Manager. The SDK Manager has its own under "Tools --> Options". It would be great if it could in future versions instead use the default Eclipse proxy settings to avoid this problem.
