But today only i downloaded standalone installer of android studio from offical website Please Help me
The only thing I can tell you is delete everything you have related to studio and try again. A large reason Android Studio is so great is that it is generally very easy to set up. Just download and open - everything, including the SDK, comes preinstalled.
Make sure you use this link to get Android Studio - it is the official link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Though I have been working on Android studio for flutter as a new bee, now I am thinking to move in VScode and want to use blue stake like an emulator. Now I want to know is there any way of developing flutter in VScode without installing android studio??
Right now, installing Android Studio is the supported way to get all the bits you need:
https://flutter.io/setup-windows/#system-requirements
Flutter relies on a full installation of Android Studio to supply its Android platform dependencies. However, you can write your Flutter apps in a number of editors; a later step will discuss that.
It is possible to make things work without (by installing bits of the SDK, Gradle, etc. manually, and ensuring they're on PATH or in relevant env variables) but it's more complicated. I (the author of the Dart/Flutter VS Code plugins) used to run without Android Studio but things like upgrading the Android SDK are much simpler with Android Studio (as far as I can tell, the GUI for updating the SDK was seemingly moved from the SDK into Android Studio).
I haven't tried this. But you can download the SDK individually without downloading the Android Studio.
Here is the link: https://developer.android.com/studio/
Go to
Command line tools only
section and Download the respected version according to your OS.
While creating Android environment in eclipse, I receive this error:
Folder can't be moved because it's open in another folder
, and when updating, it all fails as Eclipse doesn't find the SDK location, because emaluator.exe file is no longer existing as part of the tools of the SDK. I have preinstalled system-image, etc. Any ideas on how to fix this issue without re-installation?
As a beginner and as now Google has their own IDE for developing Android App, you better should start your development journey with Android Studio. It is powerful, beautiful and very easy to use. Why you are using Eclipse still now? If you use Eclipse, you have to install Android SDK, Android Emulator. And you are getting all the tools in one place with Android Studio.
Moreover, Android Studio has IntelliJ engine inside. It is known as the best java ide. Super auto code completion, intelligent code inspector and so on.
Android Studio has become the way to go for Android developers now-a-days. It is easier to use because is based on the IntelliJ Idea which is per se a much better java programming environment than eclipse, it predicts way better what you may need to write, and google has made it so that you have all your interface, simulator and code all in the same environment. On top of that google won't update the Android SDK to work with Eclipse anymore!
I am already using IntelliJ IDEA. Do I have to download all the Android Studio files (almost 1 GB)?
Can't I just download the SDK and continue on developing?
Yes, you can download only the SDK. You can find the download link here, under "SDK Tools Only".
My understanding is this: IntelliJ IDEA's Android plugin does not always have all the latest Android-specific features, developed by Google, that are already in Android Studio.
IDEA is fine too, but if you seriously do Android, just get Android Studio, you'll be better off with it.
(I use—and love—IntelliJ IDEA too for backend & web development. Having both installed is no problem. Who cares about 1 GB of disk space.)
My first issue is: I cannot seem to find an executable for the Android SDK! I have downloaded and installed via the Android SDK Manager the necessarie files, at least I hope I have. To start the ball rolling I download: API 15, Android SDK tools and platform tools plus Android 3.2. Am I missing something? The problem is I cannot find any executable file to run my `Android SDK! Where is it?
I then went on to download Eclipse Java IDE, thinking that now I have my Android SDK installed it will surely run, the problem here is that when I try to run the executable of the download file it comes back with message:
'The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate it's companion shared library'
Any help as to what I could do to finally run my Android SDK or Eclipse Java IDE would much be appreciated.
Download eclipse 'Eclipse IDE for Java Developers' from:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
Then download SDK from:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

In fact the SDK has several executables: adb, android, etc. You will access these via Eclipse and/or command line. Setting up the Android development environment is surprisingly painful. It's more or less described here. Try that, and when you run into your next roadblock, you let us know.
An alternative, if you're having troubles getting everything set up, is MOTODEV Studio from Motorola. It's a free product, but requires registration. One of the use cases we pay attention to is new developers who are having trouble with Eclipse and/or the Android SDK.
Disclaimer: it's my team's product.
I'm an old developer (Active since the Z80 days) starting fresh with Android.
The Android Developers page recommends installing Eclipse before installing the Android SDK.
It also states "There are known issues with the ADT plugin running with Eclipse 3.6. Please stay on 3.5 until further notice."
The Eclipse download page seems to offer 11 different flavors of the package. None mention Android and all seem to be the Version 3.6 that the Android Developers pages recommends avoiding. - What does one do?
Comments welcome

Get version 3.5 of Eclipse for Java Developers (you can reach this page via the "Older versions" link on the main download page). One of the problems I had with 3.6 was that autocomplete would freeze up for seconds at a time, trying to look up Android source. Until they fix that, 3.5 is better.
Once you've installed Eclipse, then you can follow the instructions to install the Android plugin.
What I'm running is Eclipse Galileo 3.5.0 and works great for me.
You want to download the "flavor" labeled Eclipse IDE for Java Developers from eclipse.org
I got MotoDev which is a complete Eclipse install with the Android SDK. It has emulators for all Moto phones. Perferct start in my opinion. Plus it's all Eclipse so you can all all the other options you want.
If you are interested download here:

have fun, I am.
