Problem with update Android SDK API 28 inside Android Studio

I want to update my Android API SDK 28 from Studio's SDK Manager . Inside the tab "SDK Platforms" I can check every Android API to instal except the first Android API 28. Can anybody explain me why it's happening?
Try by checking the "Show Package Details" checkbox which is to the bottom-right side of the screenshot that you have provided. You will be able to see individual packages, see if you are able to download them.

How can I use API 15+ in Xamarin?

In Xamarin Studio, I can't use API 16, 15, 17, 19.
When I choose API 15 or higher, OK is disabled. How can I fix it?
If you look at the line below the one where you select the API level it says that there is no suitable system image found.
You need to go to the Android SDK manager and install the right SDKs (including the emulator images) to make this work.
In Xamarin Studio go to Tool>Open Android SDK Manager and the Android SDK Manager should open. In the Android SDK Manager select the API you wish to install.

Can't see/select API 19 in Eclipse Indigo in project properties

Trying to update an app to newer version of android. Downloaded/installed API 19 and supporting files via SDK manager (as administrator), SDK manager shows that all files are installed - but when selecting [project properties - android]... api 19 is not listed. Can't include screenshots since i don't have enough reputation points - but screenshot would show SDK manager with installed android 4.4.2 (api 19), and a second screenshot showing android properties only listing up to api 18.
Closest post/solution found was how to access api 19 for android in eclipse?
but didn't help...
using Eclipse indigo
Many thanks for your help!!
You will need to update eclipse too after updating the SDK. Go to Help -> Check for updates and see if some component needs update.

how to access api 19 for android in eclipse?

I am currently using Eclipse SDK for Android development and I am targeting API 19 but I'm not able to update as I'm not getting anything with description uninstalled in my SDK manager.
Can someone please help? I need to know how I can update the SDK and access API 19 in my Eclipse ADT?
You need to access the SDK Manager, which can be found at the 5th button from the left of your toolbar (assuming default eclipse view)
Alternatively you can click on 'window' and then 'SDK Manager'. This should then load the SDK manager up and allow you to download API 19.
I don't know what you mean by "description uninstalled", open window > android SDK manager and download everything under Android 4.4 - API 19 and update everything that wants to be updated
first of all go to SDK Manager ,and update what ever that are not installed ,press on the button and install.After that go to Eclipse ,Help-->check for updates.....
First you have to go adt bundle folder and then open sdk.exe in administration mode and then install the api .

Eclipse support for previous APIs

I have formatted my system and have installed "Eclipse - Juno". I have done all the Java path settings and SDK settings as well. But the eclipse shows the minimum target API level is 17 and Android version is 4.2. How do i get it to support API levels from 8 ?
How do i get the previous level SDKs? Can i use the SDK Manager to install them?
Set the minumum level api to 8 in your manifest.
Please also remember you have the required sdks installed and eclipse know where you have it.
Also, in your C:\Users{USERNAME}\android-sdks\extras\android\support
Has the v4,v7,13 backward capiabilty support libraries, add it to build path to use previous apis.
Have you downloaded the corresponding API level SDKs?
You need to download all your required SDKs. That is, when you install a new instance of the ADT, it only contains the latest API support. To download SDKs follow these steps.
Open Eclipse (Juno in your case)
Select Window -> Android SDK Manager
Wait for a few seconds till it loads the list of all SDKs (both installed and not installed, see under the status column).
Select the check boxes for all the APIs, Tools and Add-ons you want to download and click the Install nn packages... button. Select the "Accept All" radio button and click Install button and wait till it downloads all SDKs.
You may need to provide the correct SDK path if you have altered it during/after your installation.
Hope this helps.
