I would like to change Google API level for my app project in Eclipse. I have seen numerous responses to this question on other forums that state to Right-Click on Project, select Android and edit the API level. However in my version of Eclipse (Classic) the Target API level can not be edited in this way. The box can not be edited.
I have tried the other common method of updating the manifest file but this doesnt seem to work without completing the required step mentioned above.
Any solutions would be very welcome.
Open the Android SDK Manager and download the API of the version that you wanna work on .
Now you can follow the other steps.

According to Android documentation, Google API is included in Android 4.0.3(API15), however, it did not download for me and there is no option for me to add third party APIs anywhere (see image below)
Is there a way to add Google APIs by Google Inc.?
Thanks!
I Googled your question, and it turned out another StackOverflow question regarding this matter.
Maybe this solution would help you.
Eclipse/Android: can't install Google APIs targets
Basically it says you need to update your ADT Plugin for the eclipse.
try performing the update that shows up in your ADT (can see it in the image you posted)
Good luck
When I run my SDK manager the Google APIs shows up under Android 4.0.3. Maybe update your Android SDK Tools?
Hi and thanks for looking!
Background
I am attempting to follow this Android ADK (w/ Arduino) tutorial.
I am using Intellij Idea 10.5 as an IDE (NOT Eclipse).
I have previously set up the Android dependencies in Idea, and have no problem creating a new Android project; however, according to the aforementioned tutorial, it would seem that I need to use the Google API SDK rather than the Android SDK for creating the project.
Here is the link to the Android Open Accessory Page.
Question
How do I set up Idea with the Google API so that I can create a new project of this type?
Thanks!
When you create new Android SDK in IDEA, it allows to select Google APIs SDK if it's present. If you don't have it, run SDK Manager and install it. Basically, there are 2 versions of SDK for most platforms, standard and with Google APIs.
I have been creating an app for Android SDK 8 and it works fine. Since most users are using SDK 7 and above I tried to switch to SDK 7, but then my custom ImageViews disappear from my RelativeLayout. The app does not chrash. Is this likely happening because I am using some of the framework from SDK 8? If so: is there an easy way to find out which part of my code that makes use of SDK 8 (i.e. not checking the API level of each and every method against the developer docs)?
There is really too much code to post it here. My manifest file includes
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7"
android:targetSdkVersion="7">
and my project.properties file has the line
target=android-7
Until now they used to be 8, but I changed them all to 7.
Not sure if that's your issue, but to answer the general question of finding which APIs you're using that are above the minimum API version:
Update to the newest version of the Android Developer tools, and from the command line, run lint from the root folder of your project. Among other things, it checks for "API accesses to APIs that are not supported in all targeted API".

I need to look at the .java files of the android sdk. I have developed applications before but I never needed to look at them so it wasn't a problem then. I saw there is a jar file android.jar that contains all the class files structured but actual sources are not there. git gives various problems to me because I am behind a weird proxy so http://source.android.com/source/using-eclipse.html hasn't been very helpful. What should I do?
EDIT: I'm talking about the java files, just to clarify. And in case you are okay with browsing the code online, Where can I find Android source code online? http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#uX1GffpyOZk/core/java/android/
Just open the Android SDK Manager and select the Sources for Android SDK of the API level you are trying to support and click Install packages:
(In this case I selected those for SDK v4.3 API-18 and SDK v4.2.2 API-17 but I already have them installed)
If for some reason you SDK manager button doesn't show up on the Eclipse toolbar, follow this recommendations.
To link the source code to Eclipse just follow this instructions; Android Sources are usually under [ANDROID_SDK_FOLDER]/sdk/sources/android-[API_LEVEL]
You can download the ICS sources via the adk manager to your local machine and then attach them to your project in you IDE. See e.g. the blog of Lars Vogel
It is a online latest linux and android source code browsing website.

You can browse the .java files of the Android SDK here:
http://grepcode.com/project/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android
The links in the other 2 answers, http://hala01.com/ and http://grepcode.com/project/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android are no longer working.
You can download and view android SDK source code from this site. As of today in October 2021, source code of up to API level 31 is available.
Since such websites may become unavailable in the future, you may want to download local copies for safe keeping.
i am using this tutorial to make android as a Rest client . The problem which i am facing is "The API level for the selected SDK target does not match the Min SDK Version." while calling the source code which is provided over there .For the other project its working well can support upto SDK 10 . The other query i want to ask is that for org.restlet.jar i have to download it and set a path for it ???
If you're using Eclipse, Adding a JAR file to an Android application may help.
Did you set min-sdk-level higher than target-sdk-level?
