Android-Unable to add support library to a project - android

I am new to android apps. I am trying to add support library to a project. I have right clicked my 'project', then I had gone to 'android tools' and then 'add support library'.
I had checked other posts and have enabled android sdk manager to be run as a 'administrator'.
I had already through android sdk have installed android support library. Is it because of this reason, I am unable to add the support library to the project. If so if we install through android sdk once we need not install for individual projects.
[2013-09-08 15:52:32 - SDK Manager] URL not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\temp\support_r18.zip (Access is denied)

Just run eclipse on administrator mode. This work to me.

How do I configure Android SDKs for Android Studio 3.2.1?

I downloaded the latest version (3.2.1) of Android Studio from the Android Developers site.
After installing the application, it won't start. I get an error message when clicking on "Start a new Android Studio project":
Your Android SDK is missing, out of date or corrupted.
I read an outdated post dealing with the same issue but an older version of the application. I followed the solution described there and got stuck after navigating to Configure > Project Defaults > Project Structure. This is the window I see right now:
I can't find the SDK. Where is it located? Does it not get installed together with the app? If so, where can I download it from?
I can't find the SDK. Where is it located? Does it not get installed
together with the app? If so, where can I download it from?
That depends on how you installed the Android Studio. With the SDK packages (called bundle) or you have installed it separately which doesn't have SDK packages.
Where is it located
It's mostly uses:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
Directory on windows if you install SDK Manager, it will be easy to figured out.
where can I download it from
After installing Android SDK Manager, you'll need to download some packages like;
Platform-tools
Build-tools
Support library
And etc
To be able to compile-use Android Studio which is a general question and use Google for that.

Could not find android.jar for API Level 26 in Visual Studio 2017

Could not find android.jar for API Level 26. This means the Android
SDK platform for API Level 26 is not installed. Either install it in
the Android SDK Manager (Tools > Open Android SDK Manager...), or
change your Xamarin.Android project to target an API version that is
installed. (C:\Program Files
(x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-O\android.jar missing.)
As you can see from below that I have the correct api sdk platforms installed but as you will notice on the error message, it is searching for an android-O directory.
Here is my directory which you will notice has everything in it but doesn't contain android-O
I looked in my visual studio project settings and here is what it shows for target framework
Does this mean that Visual Studio 2017 doesn't support Android SDK 26+?
I discovered that you can fix this issue with 2 steps:
Download and install Visual Studio 2017 Preview by going to https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/preview/
Download and install the Xamarin update extension on both versions of Visual Studio 2017 installed by going to https://developer.xamarin.com/recipes/cross-platform/ide/change_updates_channel/extension-gallery/ and follow the steps
If you're building for a Xamarin project, you may need to rename the folder in the SDK folder from "android-{alphabetOSVersion}" to "android-{numericOSVersion}" (IE change the folder "android-o" to "android-27").
This should be done in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms folder.
I was getting a similar issue.
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Could not find android.jar for API level 29. This means the
Android SDK platform for API level 29 is not installed. Either install
it in the Android SDK Manager (Tools > Android > Android SDK
Manager...), or change the Xamarin.Android project to target an API
version that is installed. (C:\Program Files
(x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-29\android.jar missing.)
The easy fix was to follow the steps mentioned in the error itself from your Visual Studio (I was using Visual Studio 2019).
Click on the Apply Changes button and then reload the project.
MVS 2017 does support Android SDK 26+,
Im using it with v15.3.3.
If you have MVS 2017 installed on your machine,make sure it's up to date
then download and install the Xamarin update extension.
Check out this guide
https://developer.xamarin.com/recipes/cross-platform/ide/change_updates_channel/extension-gallery/
And as a rule of thumb,whenever you get the error "Resolve the “Could not find android.jar for API Level XX” in Xamarin Studio" this are steps to follow to solve such an error
This happens when you target your project to a non-installed Android SDK platform, to fix this you have to install the right components.
Step 1:Target another Android Framework
On the project you have created right-click the project > Options
Go to the Xamarin project configurations
Then go to Build > General > Target framework, and select other Android target framework.
Xamarin project Android target framework
Step 2:Install the Android SDK you need
As the second option you can install the missing components needed to debug on the SDK Android platform; for this you have to go to:
Tools > Open Android SDK Manager
Android SDK Manager Option
Then look at the API Level number on the error or look at the version of the target framework as stated at the previous steps; then select to install the “SDK Platform” and press the “Install 1 package” button.
Choose the right Android SDK Platform

With this you are ready, press F5 and you can debug now.

Visual Studio 2015 required packages are missing

I have an issue when run Dependency Checker (Tools-Options-Tools for Apache Cordova) in VS, which is One or more required packages are missing regarding "Android Package: extra-android-support"... But I can't find the required file in Android SDK Manager as shown in this image from Android SDK Manager.
I have read almost all questions related to the same issue but without any luck.
One or more required packages are missing regarding "Android Package: extra-android-support"... But I can't find the required file in Android SDK Manager
Open the Android SDK Manager of your Tools for Apache Cordova, You can check/override the path of it under Tools->Options->Tools For Apache Cordova->Environment Variable Overrides->ADT_HOME.
Then select Android Support Repository under Extra folder and install it:

How do you add an SDK to Android Studio?

I'm using Google's Android Studio 0.1 based on IntelliJ, and I cannot figure out how to add additional SDKs to my project.
I exported my existing project from Eclipse to a Gradle project, which I imported into Android Studio, as recommended by Google.
My project's SDK is Google APIs 2.3.3. However, I use a library called PullToRefresh which appears to need SDK 4.1, so I'm trying to add the SDK 16 to my project.
I've already made sure to download the SDK using the SDK manager. These SDKs are added to the Android Studio.app's sdk folder automatically.
I opened the Project Structure window, clicked "SDKs" under Platform Settings, and I currently see JDK 1.7 and Google APIs 2.3.3 shown. I click the + sign above that list to add a new SDK. I then navigate to the sdk directory that has android-16, as shown in the screenshot below. I am not quite sure what this wants me to add, but I've highlighted the android-16 folder (about the only thing I can select), and when I click "Choose," the window disappears, but no new SDK appears in the SDK list.
And here is a screenshot of my SDK Manager view, showing the installed SDKs:
I had opened a ticket also with Google's support, and received the solution. Instead of choosing the sdk/platform/android-16 folder, if you select the top-level "sdk" folder instead, you'll then be asked to choose which SDK you want to add. This worked!
You have to put your SDK's in a given directory or .app directory. You have to do it in finder while you are out of the application i'm assuming, but personally I'd use terminal in Mac instead of doing it in the App itself or finder. According to Google:
On Windows and Mac, the individual tools and other SDK packages are saved within the Android Studio application directory. To access the tools directly, use a terminal to navigate into the application and locate the sdk/ directory. For example:
Windows: \Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Android\android-studio\sdk\
Mac: /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/sdk/
You can change from the "build.gradle" file the line:
compileSdkVersion 18
to the sdk that you want to be used.
I had to restart Android Studio for changing the sdk after installing a new one. Then Android Studio asked me for configuring my SDK and let me do it.
And For linux(ubuntu)
/usr/share/android-studio/data/sdk
Download your sdk file, go to Android studio: File->New->Import Module
I followed almost the same instructions by #Mason G. Zhwiti , but had to instead navigate to this folder to find the SDK:
/Users/{my-username}/Library/Android/sdk
I'm using Android Studio v1.2.2 on Mac OS
For those starting with an existing IDEA installation (IDEA 15 in my case) to which they're adding the Android SDK (and not starting formally speaking with Android Studio), ...
Download (just) the SDK to your filesystem (somewhere convenient to you; it doesn't matter where).
When creating your first project and you get to the Project SDK: bit (or adding the Android SDK ahead of time as you wish), navigate (New) to the root of what you exploded into the filesystem as suggested by some of the other answers here.
At that point you'll get a tiny dialog to confirm with:
Java SDK: 1.7 (e.g.)
Build target: Android 6.0 (e.g.)
You can click OK whereupon you'll see what you did as an option in the Project SDK: drop-down, e.g.:
Android API 23 Platform (java version "1.7.0_67")

Cannot find Support Package in Android SDK Manager

I need the Support Package jar file.
I opened the page http://developer.android.com/sdk/compatibility-library.html#Downloading and do as they said:
Launch the SDK and AVD Manager.
From Eclipse, you can select Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager.
Or, launch SDK Manager.exe from the / directory (on Windows
only) or android from the /tools/ directory.
Expand the Android Repository, check Android Support package and
click Install selected.
But my SDK manager is updated and there is no 'Android Repository' anymore and i cannot find Android Support Package.
Please give me any advice.
It's actually the Android Compatibility package. It's just a label error.
After installing API 16, I guess it's called as Android Support Library, and below is the path where the required library files are present:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\android-compatibility\v*
