I downloaded the Android SDK from here, as suggested by all tutorials.
I downloaded Android v4.0.3 (API 15) via the SDK manager, but it won't allow me to download older SDK/API versions, e.g 2.2?
I found this Stack question, but when i try and download one of the packages, it just 404s.
I have a single repository setup in the SDK Manager:
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml
What am i doing wrong?
My SDK manager shows that it is using
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/addon.xml
for back versions of the SDK. Make sure you have the latest version of the Android tools (it's up to 20 as of a few days ago).
So you can't check the boxes next to the other api versions ?
In the Android SDK Manager you should be able to download it.
For 2.2 that is api 8, so you would check the folder or just the sdk platform for api 8 and install.
Download the lastest version of SDK manager by using Eclipse Help->Check for updates. Once the sdk manager is updated, it will show all the older sdks

I searched about that for 1 whole day but there is not a clear answer that fixed my problem. I want to install system images for Android 6.0(API 23) but SDK Manager doesn't show me any options about that.
Using latest version stand-alone SDK Manager.
Tools updated to latest version also.
Checked all Add-On Sites from Tools tab.
Started it as Administrator.
My Android SDK Manager Screen
Am I missing something?
Check your SDK Update sites, make sure that it contains these entries:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/android/sys-img.xml
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/android/sys-img2-1.xml
This is my first question in this site so forgive me if this is asked before.
My Laptop is very humble (Acer 5733Z) and can't run Android Studio conveniently and the CPU does not have the virtualization feature to support emulator so I use the eclipse ADT plugin for developing simple apps for android since it runs smoothly without any problems.
But the problem is that i have only up to API17 (Android 4.2) SDK installed and when I open the SDK manager to install the newer SDK' it doesn't show any newer API's as shown :

So, Is there any way to add SDK's manually or something ?
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
IIRC, you need to update the "SDK Tools" and "SDK Platform-tools" entries before you can download newer SDKs. You will see those highlighted with yellow download arrows, and if you click the "Install 3 packages" button, the SDK Manager will download and upgrade those packages.
you want to update your SDK Tools for newer version of android
latest is r24.4.1 in this version android 6 now available
you can see this link for detail of all sdk tools version

The old versions of Android can still be downloaded from https://dl.google.com/android/ but you need to know the file name of the archive you're downloading (because Google has disable the index for the directory) . Does anyone have a list showing those names because I need to download Android SDK 2.2 (or 2.3) for Windows?
Thank you
There is no "Android SDK 2.2 (or 2.3) for Windows".
The Android SDK itself is available for Windows, but that is not tied to Android versions like 2.2 or 2.3. You can download the current Android SDK for Windows. Then, you can download "obsolete" SDK Platform versions from the SDK Manager by checking the "Obsolete" checkbox:
On Google's website it states:
"If you're already using the Android SDK, you should update to the latest tools or platform using the Android SDK and AVD Manager"
The current version is 18 but when I run the SDK and AVD Manager, it never shows either version 17 or 18 as an available update. Any reason for this? I hate the thought of having to install the latest version from scratch.
Possible reasons for SDK Manager:
Unchecked Updates/New
Problems with connection, check Preferences in SDK Manager
BTW: current Android SDK Tools revision is 19
if you use windows, check that you user eclipse as administrator, that was my fault on updateing.
I have successfully installed Level 13 (3.2) during the Android SDK installation, but chose not to include any earlier levels at that time.
I now would like to install 2.2 or 2.3, but in the SDK / AVD manager I get the message:-
Failed to fetch URL
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list.xml, reason:
File not found
I've looked this up in other posts and so run the SDK manager with Administrator permissions, and have turned off the firewall. Eventually, it comes back with SDK tools revision 15, and SDK PLatform tools revision 9 only.
Should I have installed earlier packages during setup?
Would an uninstall / reinstall cure this behaviour? (Reluctant to do
this :-( for obvious reasons)
Is it possible to get earlier levels having installed just level 13?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.
Old Android SDK tool (r13 and earlier) fetch/download available SDK from here repository, after google release r14 and r15, they remove all SDK verion and only leave r15 in this URL, that means they want you use the latest SDK tool r15.
New Andorid SDK tool (r14 and r15) fetch/download available SDK from a new URL repository-5, which contains everything downloadable.
If you are not using anything else like Maven (currently incompatible with latest ADT) with your project, the simplest answer is upgrade both your Android SDK tools and ADT Eclipse plugin.
I just setted up my android environment yesterday - try to download the package manually and load them as Archive files, this worked for me! ;)
