I have my Android SDK and NDK installed on my computer (On custom locations) . I am trying to install xamarin on my Windows environment but the installer wants to force me to install SDK and NDK . It looks like it cannot find by installations folder. Is there a solution to specify when my SDK and NDK are installed ?
Thanks.
I finally managed to get The installer detect my sdk location. Here's what I did:
Install Xamarin Studio Alone (https://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads)
Change your SDK , NDK , JDK Locations in Xamarin Studio settings and close
Download the Universal Installer and start
It will automatically detect that Xamarin Studio installed and will use its settings.
Install other dependencies
Start visual studio and enjoy !
The Xamarin Team really need to add the possibilty to select your SDK/NDK/JDK locations at INSTALLATION TIME
According to the Xamarin docs you can configure where it looks for the SDKs:

All I know is that I have my Android Studio in the applications folder, but it can't be selected.
I'm trying to build a unity project in Android. I'm also using Mac.
You need to find out where Android Studio installed your SDK. You are using Mac but the steps below is for Windows. It should be the-same for Mac too.
Open Android SDK Manager
Get the SDK Location
In Unity, go to Edit->Preferences...->External tools then put the Android SDK location into the SDK slot. Install JDK and put the JDK location in the JDK slot.
Just an add-on to the previous answer:
On the Mac the default location of the Android SDK is here:
/Users/[[Username]]/Library/Android/sdk/
(I would have added that in the comments but I still lack the credits for doing so.)
Is it possible to install and point both Xamarin Studio and Android Studio to a same location for Android SDK, this is just so I could save some space on my Mac. I plan to install both studios, but I thought I would ask if doing so would bring me trouble down the road.
Yes, you can share the Android SDK between both installs.
In this case I installed Xamarin Studio first (and thus the various Android SDKs):
I then installed Android Studio and during the install selected the same Android SDK location:
You can of course go the other way...
I wish to install Android Studio for Android Development instead of Eclipse on my Windows 7 PC. I wish to keep Eclipse installed, but I need help deciding which bundle of Android Studio to install.
Can I just install android-studio-ide-141.1980579-windows.exe (No SDK tools included) from here? Or do I need to install the entire bundle (android-studio-bundle-141.1980579-windows.exe)?
You may install android-studio-ide-141.1980579-windows.exe (No SDK tools included) and configure to use the same SDK that your Eclipse does.
In Android Studio setup will pop up a window SDK Components Setup and you may fill the SDK path in Android SDK Location
android-studio-bundle-141.1980579-windows.exe
Downloading Studio With Sdk tools will help u .

I'm installing qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1.zip for windows and I want to be able to use this to create an Android app using Visual Studio 2010. Am I going about this the right way? Will this version of Qt work for an Android app and is it ok to use Visual Studio 2010 for this kind of thing? I'm coding in C++.
Thanks
You should download and install:
Qt 5.x here.
Android SDK (ver. 22+) here
NDK (ver. r9+) here
If you don’t plan to create Android Java apps, then make sure you are downloading ONLY the SDK and not ADT Bundle or Android Studio.
After downloading extract them, open Android SDK (you should have a connection to Internet) and download the desired tools, you have to install at least Android API-13! You also must install Android SDK Platform-tools and Android SDK Build-tools.
Open Qt Creator. Goto Tools->Option->Android settings page and set Android SDK and NDK locations.
I've been facing issues with my installation of Android sdk on my MAC.
As instructed on the google website I've followed their instructions to install
ADT Plugin
Android SDK
Eclipse platform
The installation is not on this order but as directed by the website. After installation I followed the instructions to create a .bash_profile(it was not present on my computer) and I updated it with the directory settings. Now I've installed it and set the path folder on Eclipse using the preferences->android. When I click apply and I exit I get an error stating that Android component is missing. Also to note that the android sdk->platform is supposed to contain an adb is empty.
I used this question's solution and yet I get the same error
Thank you for your input
UPDATE: It asks me to use the SDK manager to install I am unable to locate this component
It sounds like you haven't installed any actual Android SDK platforms.
Go to the tools directory of the Android SDK and run android. The Android SDK manager GUI will appear allowing you to install an android platform. Click on available packages, expand Android repository, and install the platform versions you want.
