I have poor internet at home and hence I am not able to download the packages which are downloaded by Android SDK like Android 4.2 package etc. I just wanted to know that is it possible to find these packages if yes where do i find them and if I copy them from my friends PC to my PC will it affect anything ?
In my PC, they are located at the following directory: C:\Users\MY_NAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
And I think you can copy them from your friend without any problem.
Yes, you can copy it from your friend's pc, by going to the android sdk folder and then coping all platforms you need and paste them to your pc in the platforms it will work :-)

I'm currently using android studio to develop an app, but my pc seems pretty bad for it so I'm very afraid that it stops working and i can't access my codes anymore. Is there any way I can transfer the files to another computer? I have the app folder with all the codes, even tried using whatsapp, email and google drive to send the documents but it won't let me. If I buy another computer can I use an external hard drive to transfer my apps to the new computer? Idk if it matters, but i'll be switching from a MacOS to a Windows.
Sure. Just copy the folder where your project is in to an external hard drive, copy it in the other PC, install the same version of Android version you are using in the other PC and open that copied folder as a project with Android Studio.
There should be no problem.
Maybe you have also to reconfigure things like Firebase access or the like, but with repeating the process you did it should be enough.
Are the files in Android SDK platforms folder on Windows the same as the one in Linux? I just want be sure than to download files I have already on my computer.
It´ll sure not be the same. Check this answer they explain how to check it

EDIT
As you were asking for the files, just check this url. You will see the sizes are not the same between linux and windows, then, I recommend you to download them again.. and make it a fresh install...

how can I save a file from QT application running in PC to Android phone using USB or Android emulator?
thanks for your answers!
If you are using Necessitas, if you go into QT_src folder on your C:\ you can see that you have a lot o examples which one of them is called http, it is app that is capable of downloading files to your phone or to your pc through the network.
Hope I helped a bit. If you can't find folder just check into QT_SDK folder if you can't find it then maybe update sdk and be sure to download source files for android.
I am using eclipse as IDE for android programming. I have update android SDK to API 9. these are installed on my laptop.
Now, I want to transfer all of these to my PC. On my PC, I didn't have eclipse and SDK.
My question is, may I copy folders of eclipse and SDK from laptop and paste it on my PC? can I use it and create new project after this?
Thanks
Try and see is the best answer to this.
My suggestions is to launch eclipse on your desktop and get ADT.
Otherwise I think you have to be careful where your Android SDK is. if you put in Eclipse then it should work.
(In my case I needed the SDK and NDK to be at the root of C:)
bottom line there is not better way than a clean installation
Yes, you can just copy the whole project (your app) folders over to your PC. In Eclipse, use the File/Import… command, then select General/Existing Projects into Workspace to add the copied project/s to your Eclipse workspace.
As for the Android SDK folder, I wouldn't transfer that one over, and just run the SDK installer for Windows again on the second PC to be sure.
Yes Very much. Just copy and paste. This should work in most cases. (Except if you try to transfer a 64bit eclipse version to a 32bit machine. If this happens just download the eclipse 32 bit version and point your workspace and android SDK to the copied one).
Copy paste has and advantage if you are planning to generate debug key (need this if you are using Location Information using Google API). If you copy paste, you dont have to keep generating a new key per machine.
Yes, you can copy all the things as far as you keep respecting the path changes. Keep track of them and change paths in Eclipse. You must have Java although.
I am trying to install on a VM that is offline. I have downloaded eclipse. I have downloaded the android sdk and pointed to it in eclipse. I still cannot see any target platforms in order to create an android project. What am i missing? I need to set this up without using the android sdk/avd manager to download the platforms. Can anyone help me? I have been trying to figure this out for 3 days. Thanks.
Sorry But I have No time to answer
This helped me to do it

I don't think there's a way to download them outside of the SDK/AVD manager. If your VM doesn't have network connectivity, your best bet is probably to download the SDKs you are interested in (from a different system) and manually copy over the files. The SDKs will reside in the "platforms" directory underneath the SDK root. If you download the Google API add-ons, those files will reside in the "add-ons" subdirectory.
