I'm trying to get Visual Studio 2012 running on Windows 8 and using Xamarin.
My android sdk is installed and identified in Visual Studio 2012. Xamarin account is verified. I have administrator privileges on the PC.
When I try to build the generic Android Application (Hello World) that comes as a default template I get the following error:
Access to the path 'resources.apk.bk' is denied.
When I rebuild I get the above error plus
The directory is not empty.
I've search around for this a lot. I'm going to post to stackOverflow but thought you might be able to help.
In addition I get the following warnings:
Could not find schema information for the element 'manifest'.
Could not find schema information for the element 'uses-sdk'.
Could not find schema information for the element 'application'.
Trying to build good projects from my colleagues yield similar results.
Are you running an Anti-virus application? Most likely you are. When I first started using VS2012 I had similar issues. Our corporate developer installations separates a particular folder(s) from the anti-virus. Moving all project related files there solved the problem.
Right click the Project and click properties. Check the Compile using Android version it should be less or equal then your Android API version.

I installed Android Studio 3.0.1 and everything seemed to go as expected. When first starting up, I got to the point of downloading the SDK components, and received the following error.
"Android Support Repository, Android SDK Tools and 7 more SDK components were not installed"
Has anybody every seen this? Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I am using Windows 10 64 bit. I was able to capture some more details of the failure.
"java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\Users\gcleveland\Documents\Android\SDK2\extras\android\m2repository.backup.installer.installData -> C:\Users\gcleveland\Documents\Android\SDK2\extras\android\m2repository.installer.installData Warning: Failed to move original content of C:\Users\gcleveland\Documents\Android\SDK2\extras\android\m2repository back into place! It should be available at C:\Users\gcleveland\Documents\Android\SDK2\extras\android\m2repository.backup"
There are multiple other instances like this but different directories.
It is almost as if my permissions are not correct. I have full administrative rights and run android studio as an administrator.
I ran into similar issues with the exe file version and resolved them by instead downloading and installing the zip version of Android Studio 3.0.1 for Windows 10 (https://dl.google.com/dl/android/studio/ide-zips/3.0.1.0/android-studio-ide-171.4443003-windows.zip). After unzipping this file, I simply executed its bin/studio64.exe. I also switched my networking connection to NOT need a proxy, which may also have helped to resolve the issue.
I'm in the process of setting up my system to deploy OpenFrameworks apps on Android devices.
I've followed the instructions here to the letter: http://openframeworks.cc/setup/android-studio/
However, whenever I open one of the OF - Android example projects, I keep getting the following error:
I haven't turned up anything yet as far as what the issue may be (and this is my first foray to Android anything). Anyone have an idea?
It could be because there are some spaces in your directory path in "Development Tools" and "3rd Party Tools". I've had weird issues in the past with openFrameworks and Android studio like the one you're having.
Try to put openFrameworks in a path structure without spaces. Maybe clone a fresh version to test.
I've never struggled with anything in programming as much as this Xamarin installation, unbelievably flakey. I've got my environment (VS 2015 Enterprise) to a point whereby I can spin up a new Blank App (Android) but the designer requires a newer version of the Android SDK (apparently):
I've only just installed the latest Android Studio, so I can confirm (in Xamarin settings) I'm pointing to the correct path for the SDK (in AppData/Local etc.)
On opening the SDK manager I can see the latest SDK tools is installed.
Please note: I've also tried running the SDK manager independently of VS (and as admin).
Never had this much trouble trying to get something installed and configured. Any help MASSIVELY appreciated.
Whoever helps me crack this gets a massive bounty.
EDIT:
Found this in the logs, fairly certain this is the issue:
Xamarin.VisualStudio.Android.MonoAndroidDesignerPane Error: 0 : [2016-09-22 16:36:54.2716] System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Bounty is for Jon when it allows me to award it. This issue has already been resolved.
Try to delete your obj/bin folders as it seems you might have an AndroidSdksCache holding the old version. Specifically look for a file here obj\Debug\sdks.cache.
The second note is that you have build-tools 23.0.0 installed. Please uninstall that version and any other old version and install 24.0.2.
It shows the current directory as being C:\sdk1\ when the referenced SDK version is different in your screenshot. You will need to update C:\sdk1\ to the latest Android SDK Tools.
I think that can be many things.
1) some time your user name in your PC if have character specials like accents or spaces. Make problems with the VS.
2) you need check if you install Visual studio Emulator android. After donwload a device and check the api that have that device.
Windows 8 or windows 10 pro.
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/features/msft-android-emulator-vs.aspx
Don´t use the generic emulator. If you dont know how configure.
3)Make sure that you have install Xamarin correctly in your VS.
Tool -> options -> Xamarin
you need watch all the green check.
if the android dont have the green check. Search the route when you have install the sdk. For example watch the image. My root for example
Let me know if this solve your problem. Regards.
I've looked a lot, but haven't found the answer to this. I've been doing Android development and working with Android Studio. v1.0 is out and I've upgraded. My old projects didn't port (gradle incompatibility) so I made a new project, killed the unrelated files, and replaced with my files from the last working version (made under Android Studio .6 or something).
It fails during compilation trying to do some kind of authentication with Google Login Services (and I don't use any services). It references my email address - it throws a "badAuthentication" with my email address. I have grepped all through the files for either my email address or a reference to google, and all I can find is my email address in the usual place in my comments. No .gradle or .xml or .iml (or any) file seems to reference google. Where is this authentication effort coming from? I'd like to comment it out.
Thanks
Update: I couldn't track this down - I suspect it has something to do with the templates specified. I wiped everything (except my code) and installed a new studio and a project with no activity, and replaced my code. It works now. So, no idea what caused it; I just gave up on the upgrading (which Android Studio seems to have a spotty record on) and just did a full replacement and rebuild.
Recently i've started android training, and i've got the below 2 issues.
In my desktop i already had eclipse installed, and when trying to import the android plugins, I was getting some error, so what i did was downloaded eclipse+android package from android developers website and I copied it onto my programs files folder where java is installed and when i open it, it is throwing me an error saying the javaw is not found, goinf through the earlier posts on SO website, i've tried the below.
-vm
\adding the java path
But this didn't work for me. so what i did was installed the same package in my laptop(there is no another eclipse on my laptop). and it started working fine.
On my laptop in the eclipse+android package i write a program and when i hit the Android virtual device manager, it asks me to create a AVD, and when i've filled the entire data here, the OK button is still greyed out. Below is the screenshot.
Also i've tried to create by creating from Device definition,even here i'm not getting the ok button hoghlighted and below is its screenshot
please let me know how can i fix the above issues.
Thanks
Firstly you need not wonder for such a mess ..
For IDE purpose .. go to this link .. https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html
Android Studio IDE contains all you need .. Just download ..extract and start creating your first Android project.
And now for tutorials to learn .. try these site ..
(1) https://buckysroom.org/videos.php?cat=6 ( Travis ... provide best tutorial in this world )
(2) https://developer.android.com/index.html
Now you are good to go ..
You can see it clearly says: "CPU/ABI: No system images installed for this target"
So either:
Lower your target.
Update your SDK.
Then set a CPU and you can go on in the AVD creation process.
update the sdk, install ARM/intel(x86) for CPU/ABI
Try using Android Studio by IntelliJ ,as it is for more better than eclipse and moreover ADT plugin for Eclipse is no longer in active development.
if you then also get the same error again try this link android Developer and setup java environment.
