So i just downloaded the vstoolsforxamarin fro mthe xamarin website. For some reason I do not have the platform-tools folder or the adb.exe . Without this I can't work with any android project. What can I do?
Update:
I found the solution. I opened the Android SDK Manager outside the VS and I Installed the abd.exe from it. Then I got the folder I needed and it is solved. Thanks :)
On windows the default location is :
C:\Program Files(x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\
or on a Mac it is:
/Users/<username>/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/
Open sdk manager (with administrator rights) and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"

I just installed Android Studio (latest) on my Windows 10. But I didn't find the GUI SDK Manager. I don't know how where it's located.
I looked in C:\Users\**my username**\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools but nothing.
Any help ???
On my computer it is directly in the Andoid\sdk folder, not in the Tools sub directory:
C:\Users\**my username**\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\SDK Manager.exe
I downloaded Android Studio and installed it in Win 7, and everything went fine. However, I do not have SDK Manager in the folder it is supposed to be. Here is a snapshot. Any idea?
There is no folder named "SDK Manager". In order to start developing you need to install platform tools and atleast one version of android using the SDK Manager.
Where to find SDK Manager?
Open Android Studio
Hope this helps :)
go to Tool-->SDK Manager from there it is written your SDK manager path.
In this latest version 2.3.1+ it is a deprecated feature:
For More:~
you can still start it via the SDK Manager.exe located in your SDK folder
C:\Users\You\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
I'm trying to setup IntelliJ IDEA to develop android applications and I faced an issue with android sdk. As far as I know, I need to download the sdk separately. But I all I managed to find was Android command line tools which is obviously not something I need. So my question how can I get android sdk for IntelliJ IDEA?
You can install whichever android SDK or API from Intellij. I have the 2018.1 version but I hope this works in earlier versions too. You can find the options to install the SDKs here:
Same problem I have with IDEA 2017.1.1. I installed tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip and managed to install them.
I've done:
unzipped it to C:\Android\android_sdk\
renamed "tools" folder to "tools-sdk"
executed
C:\Android\android_sdk\tools_inst\bin>sdkmanager --update
prepared file my_file with lines:
build-tools;24.0.0
platforms;android-24
tools
emulator
Executed:
C:\Android\android_sdk\tools_inst\bin>sdkmanager --package_file=my_file
Then gave IntelliJ IDEA folder C:\Android\android_sdk as Android SDK Home Folder.
Then IDEA asks to install something additional. The test android project compiles and runs on emulation (AVD Manager works). I had to install 22 Platform and Build Tools though because android-24 virtual device asked for a password.
The only problem is I still have no SDK Manager with GUI interface.
First of all make sure you'be setup JDK properly. If not, you can download it from here.
Now go to Android Developer official site and download Android Studio.
If you are already done with above mentioned points the few point you might be missing.
When asked to choose the JDK (not SDK) you need to choose the Java JDK which you've installed earlier. Should be under C:\Program Files\Java\jdk{version}
Choose a New platform ( if there's not one selected ) , the SDK platform is the android platform at C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows.
Please let me know if it didn't help.

I had the same issue. I tried downloading sdk via android eclipse setup process. Eclipse automatically downloads the sdk. This sdk has a gui sdkmanager and can be used in idea as well. Here is the link to download eclipse.
(Android Studio installed on my computer.)
As i see users missed a point while installing android SDK.
You should show the Android SDK at AppData folder to IntellijIdea.
C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Local\Android\SDK_Folder.

You can download the android SDK from this link here. I hope it should be helpful that link.
I need to install some packages in Android SDK Manager, but in my SDK folder there isn't the .exe file (There is only the AVD Manager and the folders).
How can I find it? My SDK works normally with Android Studio, without problems, it's strange that SDK Manager.exe isn't there.
I had to install an older version
https://dl.google.com/android/installer_r24.4.1-windows.exe
and update it. Going from there worked
To open the SDK Manager from Android Studio, click Tools > Android > SDK Manager or click SDK Manager in the toolbar. If you're not using Android Studio, you can download tools using the sdkmanager command-line tool.
Check this link: https://developer.android.com/studio/intro/update.html#sdk-manager
I found C:\NVPACK\android-sdk-windows\tools\android.bat
When I ran it, it brought up SDK Manager.
Which was nice, because I couldn't find SDK Manager in the C:\NVPACK\android-sdk-windows\lib folder like I was told it would be there.
You can find Android SDK Manager.exe file in the following folder:
C:\Users[account]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk (sdk1 in my case)
You can tap on that and you will get the Android SDK Manager screen.
Go to android_sdk/tools/bin/ open cmd and type sdkmanager and hit enter you can use command prompt for it
You can find sdk manager under command-line tools, which you will have to download by clicking the configure drop-down link under the android studio start-up wizard.
C:\Users[account]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\cmdline-tools\latest\bin
C:\Users[account]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\cmdline-tools\latest\bin
I had trouble running from here because I didn't have the right permission. I was trying to update my SDK. I got it running from another folder on my system with the command line command:
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/cmdline-tools/7.0/bin/sdkmanager.bat" --update --sdk_root="C:/Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/cmdline-tools"
On Visual Studio 2022 you can look under Tools/Android/Android SDK Manager
I am trying to install android studio 0.8.14 from this page.
I download the zip file and unzip it into a directory and the run studio.exe ( as explained in documentation on web site)
but when I run studio.exe, I found that android sdk was not installed.
what is the correct procedures to install android studio on windows?
Go to this link https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=i, and look to the section called "GET THE SDK FOR AN EXISTING IDE", download that to a known location and then use that folder when android studio asks you to point to sdk location
Download the SDK from here.
This link can be found on Android SDK | Android Developers.
after downloading the sdk , open studio64.exe ->configure->project default->project structure-> set android SDK location to that of standalone sdk installation directory [by default its "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk"].
note- start sdk manager as administrator. else it wont do anything
