I'm using Xamarin 4.0.1.145, Visual Studio 2015, Windows 10 and Android SDK (24.3.3).
I want design and drag tools from tools box on main.axml but designer is disabled and I don't know why designer of Android or main.axml doesn't load?
my problem was solved.i uninstall xamarin and jdk completly then install xamarin 4.0.1.145 and jdk 7.
may be problem from elsewhere but the problem was solved by this way.
I also faced the same problem. And it got resolved after updating the Android SDK.

I have been creating a Xamarin forms application using Visual studio 2019 for the past two months now however after completing the latest update for Visual Studio 2019, I am now receiving the following error when trying to build the application.
Error Xamarin.Android for Visual Studio requires Android SDK. Please click here to configure.
I thought that possibly the update had uninstalled Android SDK however below you can see that Android SDk is in fact installed.
As well as this, emulator 28.0.25 is also installed. Has anyone else had any issues with the Android SDK after the latest Visual Studio update?
I have read here that uninstalling the SDK should fix this issue however what do I uninstall? Would this be the Android SDK Tools + Android SDK Platform-tools + Android SDK Build-Tools?
To fix this issue I uninstalled Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-Tools and Android SDK Build-Tools and re-installed them. I then got the same error however looking into the logs located in C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Logs\XamarinDeviceManager
I found that there was a big error log stating how Component Android SDK Platforms were not found on the system.
I closed Visual Studio, cleaned the solution and built it and it seems to have fixed the bug.
In Visual Studio 2015 with Xamarin I installed android SDK and updated it. Android SDK manager says, that I have tools version 25.2.3:
.
But Visual Studio still shows up a message that I must update it:
.
Thanks for help.
I've came across the same problem yesterday, to solve this issue, you must download the Android 6.0(API 23). After that the designer should work just fine.
I am very new in xamarin development. Recently I install xamarin with visual studio 2015 in windows 10. I have created a simple project in xamarin android. It build perfectly but when I try to run the project in emulator getting "There were deployment errors, continue?" popup message.
.
I have googled and do not get any proper solution. Please help me to solve the problem.
had the same problem on windows 64 bit
i'm using the latest android sdk build tools at this moment (v25.0.1)
just installed jdk 9 and a 32 bit version of jdk(version 7) due to this link
then changed the jdk path in tools>options>Xamarin>Android settings.
restart visual studio. clean and rebuild. that's it.
You may have wrongly selected "target Android version" to version your emulator is running on.
Make sure that these two are aligning.
VS -> (right click on project) -> properties - > Android Manifest (tab) -> Target Android version (drop down)
In my system, I'm using latest Android SDK build tools at this moment(v26.0.1) and Visual Studio 2017 Version 15.7.4.
In Regedit the Android SDK also same Visual Studio tools>options>Xamarin>Android settings. But the problem was same with me.
In my case, I changed the Package Name in Android Manifest then the problem has been solved.
I had this same problem, which I solved by editing the Android emulator on Android Device Manager giving it a processor of both 32 and 64 bits (x86_64).
After doing this, Android Device Manger downloaded and updated the Emulator configuration. After this I was able to run and debug my app with no problems on Android Emulator.
you should increase free space in drive C and empty temp folder
Using Xamarin I can't solve the error when open even the default layout.

Something weng wrong

required. Please update to the latest version.

As seen in the image below I already installed the latest tools.
Using Java 1.8. Did I miss something?
Thank you very much.
I had a similar problem. Here a solution that worked for me:
1) delete the one package appearing in the screenshot of the Android SDK Manager in the url below. Nota bene: At this stage VS 2015 greyed out the Android SDK manager buttons, even after a restart.
2) download installer_r24.4.1-windows.exe for windows https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
3) launch the Android SDK Manager outside of VS and install the proposed 19 packages. This time I could go through the installation.
4) Launch VS 2015 and create Xamarin Android project. Launching Main.axml would launch the designer properly on an android project.

How to resolve : unexpected error occured Initializing Android Designer" in VS 2015 with Xamarin
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.
