When creating a new project the target platform (Android) is already greyed out so can't proceed.
I have already linked SDK and NDK.
The Android check box will be disabled if you do not have Xamarin.Android installed or the Android addin is disabled in Xamarin Studio.
If you look in the log file (Help - Open Log Directory) it should provide more information.
Run the installer again and check what you want: Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS
The issue has been reported several times in several forums: I have searched all of them and found no answer that works in May 2017, now that Xamarin Universal Installer no longer is provided by Xamarin.com, only Visual Studio. Most answers I've depends on two things: one, that one loads the Android sdk, ndk and Java jdk and links up to them in the Tools Project Option -> Android. While an appropriate answer, this doesn't seem to fix the issue for those who have had it on a PC, like myself. I have also Visual Studio installed but wanted to see the Xamarin Studio. The other parts of the answers I've seen mention the use of Xamarin Universal Installer. Only manual install Xamarin Studio (via its .msi files) are now possible given the Xamarin.com offers.
However, even uninstalling and reinstalling Xamarin Studio--as was recommended in a forum--didn't seem to solve this issue. Normal uninstall via Control Panel of Xamarin Studio doesn't delete the local user info. This is, moreover, shared with Visual Studio. As far as I can see, it is the mixture between Visual Studio in its newest forms, and the Xamarin Studio in its earlier forms, on one and the same Windows PC that causes some configuration issues.
And so the solution seems to be that if you want Xamarin Studio to work on a PC with target platform Android, you should start with a clean PC and begin on the Android sdk and ndk, and the Java jdk, then install Xamarin Studio without installing Visual Studio first. Hopefully though the Visual Studio should be good enough.
Just click on restart button. From Tools > Add Custom Tools > SDK Locations in visual studio.

I am trying to set up JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA for Android Development. I have "inherited" a relatively large Android project from one of my colleagues.
I am running into problems whenever I try to build the app in the IDE. I have tried to install the Android SDK into intelliJ but without any luck.
My problem seems to be that IntelliJ cannot locate the SDK correctly.
I have followed these steps, but with no result:

I have installed Android sdk and eclipse neon .2 for android developers. When I create android project and click finish, it gives this error. Can anyone suggest what's wrong?
The Android SDK has not been setup properly inside your Eclipse environment.
Reinstalling using recommended settings might resolve this issue.
Android Studio 2.0 is the new recommended IDE for developing Android apps and is extremely easy to setup.
Link: https://developer.android.com/studio/install.html
NOTICE: I found other questions and answers about the same issue, but the answers are for older versions of Android Studio, and I want confirmation if it still can work for the latest version of Android Studio (2.2.3.0 which was released on December 6, 2016)
I'm new to the Android development and I selected the IDE to use wrongly and before thinking and knowing which IDE to use.
So after this mistake, I must use Android Studio now to use the GRADLE libraries as Eclipse doesn't officialy support them (because Eclipse is now discontinued).
The Android Studio is 1.63 GB (including the Android SDK), while Android Studio is 417 MB (without the Android SDK).
I have Android SDK Tools R25.2.3 ( latest ) already downloaded, so I don't want to download the whole Studio + The Android SDK again.
Is it possible to download the Android Studio without the SDK, then link the SDK to the Studio manually?
I'd be very thankful if someone could help!
Yes it is possible , Studio and SDK can been seen as separate components and they can be linked by providing SDK path in the studio IDE or you can configure you SDK path thorough the setting menu shown at the start screen of android studio.
You can download the standalone IDE through Official Android Studio site.
Note : http://tools.android.com/ has dropped the support of providing separate SDK and IDE components but still IDE can be downloaded individually from Android Official Download Link
Steps to configure after download
1.) Download and Extract the IDE
2.) Find studio or studio64 exe and run the appropriate one in your OS
3.) When you start your studio , it will probably ask for SDK location through a prompt screen and provide the location and hit next and next , eventually it will show you a little process for update window and show you finish screen (Must follow the note below)
3.a) If there was no prompt screen shown then you can configure the SDK path using the setting option on the Splash screen of android studio
3.b) It's possible that when you open an old studio project and SDKis still not configured because every project has it's own setting so again you can see the link in error/log window as configure SDK and just click the link and provide path
Note : Disable internet before configuring you studio otherwise it will look for Updates
Helpful points to possible issue
For old project , replace the old dependencies with the one you have in project structure link for Visual representation of steps
Replace the gradle version with the one supported by your new studio and do the same if any other tool is not found.
Definitely. The Android Studio IDE prompts you to specify the path containing the Android SDK tools, if it doesn't detect the SDK automatically.
Can anyone here please provide me with the proper link for Android SDK and Installation of SDK for Eclipse Mars, I have searched a lot, but I didn't find anything other than Android Studio,
I am using eclipse because android studio is not working on my laptop, its very heavy and my laptop takes more time to open and run the program,
so If any one has the better knowledge for downloading and installation, then please provide me here..
and What I am trying to looking at Android developer website, they changed it for only Android Studio. Whenever I open any old link, it is redirecting me to Android Studio, is It true?? Please provide me with some more detail about it.
Thank you
You can download eclipse ADT plugin from here (note that it is not the latest).
Also, there is one more helpful link for getting latest available releases for eclipse (ADT 23.0.7 since August 2015).
By the way, at least for me is very confusing that Android Studio working worse than eclipse. I found that Android Studio is far better than eclipse (but that is only my personal opinion).
Anyway, that is more important: Android Studio is now the official IDE for Android and migration to it is recommended. Eclipse is not supported anymore.
How about you download Eclipse Neon with the Andmore project?
While Eclipse is not officially supported by Google, this project has forked the Android ADT plugin and is being maintained on the side.
I'm trying to get Eclipse setup for Android and have done the following steps. I'm using the book "Android 101" and basically following the steps.
(1) Installed Java SDK
(2) Installed Eclipse
(3) Installed Android SDK
I start Eclipse and go to Window->Preferences and expect to see Android in the list. I'm supposed to select Android then point it to where I installed the Android SDK. The problem is that I'm not seeing Android in the list.
I did not have any trouble with the Java or Android installs, and I didn't see any option in the Eclipse install specific to Android.
I've searched on Stack Overflow and Googled, and am not finding anything.
From inside Eclipse select Help->Install New Software then click NEW.
Install ADT from https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse
After that you point it to your Android SDK install location and the APIs all show up. Hit APPLY and OK, then ready to start working.
The best plan here is to follow the advice given on the Android Developers blog in June, 2015.
[…] we are ending development and official support for the Android Developer Tools (ADT) in Eclipse at the end of the year. This specifically includes the Eclipse ADT plugin and Android Ant build system. If you have not had the chance to migrate your projects to Android Studio, now is the time.
I'm a long-time Eclipse user, and I recently fired up Android Studio for some brief Android testing. There was definitely a learning curve, but it wasn't insurmountable.
