On the official page I see the android-sdk_r16-linux.tgz but I can not found some lower versions from the android skd. Any ideas how can I download some lower version ?
I don't know why you would want to do this (bug fixes and improvement happen with newer releases and you wont be able to build to a target of Android 3.0+), but:
Windows: http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r12-windows.exe
Linux: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r12-linux_x86.tgz
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r14-linux.tgz
(the oldest I can find is r12)
OSX: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r14-macosx.zip
(oldest I found is r14)
So, hopefully you are using Windows and then you're in luck.
Hope that helps! Really, though, I would reconsider your motivation to use an outdated plugin.
Thanks to TryTryAgain's lead, I was able to find the right filename for the r12 SDK for linux:
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r12-linux_x86.tgz
SDK download is just a starter kit, actual platform is downloaded from the Android SDK manager in Eclipse. You can download the version you want by choosing the appropriate checkbox

I have been working in eclipse and android sdk for more than a year. i use to install new api when it released by the google by android sdk manager.
Now my question is can I download it once and can I use it in some other system?
You can install using android SDK Manager. Open it and install which ever SDK you need.
If u want to use this in another computer, copy total eclipse and paste in another system.
Hope this may help you.
Yes you can.... create complete environment of eclipse on another system as previous system, where you download android-sdk and then use downloaded android-sdk...
may it's also help you...
Android: Is it possible to cut/paste android SDK and use it?
I am sure this has been asked before, but I can not find a good answer. I want to create an Android app, I want to use Eclipse, but there are so many versions on the downloads page, and I am not sure which one I should use ... some of these include
>Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers
>Eclipse Classic 4.2.2
>Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
>Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers
>Eclipse for Mobile Developers
Thank You :)
I would recommend the ADT Bundle, as it has a suitable version of Eclipse, plus the necessary Android plumbing, in one download.
The answer depends on what you want to use in Eclipse. If you are just starting in the Eclipse world go for the smallest (lightweight) packages because they will also make your Eclipse experience smoother (loading, UI, etc.). From your list above I would choose Classic, but, if you ONLY want to focus on Android development, you could try the Google prepackaged version of Eclipse (ADT, see below).
You can install either:
standalone Eclipse plus the ADT plugins or
the prepackaged version of Eclipse with ADT provided by Google (recommended)
If you already have an Eclipse installed (which you probably want if you already use Eclipse and want to keep the existing worspaces/preferences/etc.) you can only install the ADT plugins from here. And both Indigo and Juno versions of Eclipse should work. Of course that you should try and upgrade your workspace first to Juno and than install the ADT plugins to avoid any other surprises.
The Google prepackaged version of Eclipse is here and will give you less headaches because you have almost everything into it. You only have to use the prepackaged download manager inside Eclipse to download platform versions and device images (and many other tools and examples). This will use Eclipse Juno version.
I would recommend the classic version, but in my opinion intelliJ is better

Google has just announced at Google I/O a new IDE called "Android Studio" which
is based on IntelliJ and can be found here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html
Any will do, but the most recommended one is Mobile. Also check the new IDE that Google released just for that (Android Studio).
Download Eclipse Installer from https://www.eclipse.org/ (top right
corner)
After downloading start installer.
Check if there is an option as "for Android Developers". If there is
not, click the updates button on top right corner. It downloads
updates for installer. After the download is completed check again
the list.
Download Eclipse for Android Developers.
The other day on a different machine i was able to install many android sdk versions all at once using something in eclipse. I cannot remember how I did this and was wondering if anyone might know how to do this?
Thanks
Follow the directions given at http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html, and then use the SDK manager to select, download and install whichever SDK(s) you need.
My first issue is: I cannot seem to find an executable for the Android SDK! I have downloaded and installed via the Android SDK Manager the necessarie files, at least I hope I have. To start the ball rolling I download: API 15, Android SDK tools and platform tools plus Android 3.2. Am I missing something? The problem is I cannot find any executable file to run my `Android SDK! Where is it?
I then went on to download Eclipse Java IDE, thinking that now I have my Android SDK installed it will surely run, the problem here is that when I try to run the executable of the download file it comes back with message:
'The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate it's companion shared library'
Any help as to what I could do to finally run my Android SDK or Eclipse Java IDE would much be appreciated.
Download eclipse 'Eclipse IDE for Java Developers' from:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
Then download SDK from:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

In fact the SDK has several executables: adb, android, etc. You will access these via Eclipse and/or command line. Setting up the Android development environment is surprisingly painful. It's more or less described here. Try that, and when you run into your next roadblock, you let us know.
An alternative, if you're having troubles getting everything set up, is MOTODEV Studio from Motorola. It's a free product, but requires registration. One of the use cases we pay attention to is new developers who are having trouble with Eclipse and/or the Android SDK.
Disclaimer: it's my team's product.
Can any one knows, how i can get android SDK 2.0.1, i have seen developer.android.com but there is not avaiable the Android version 2.0.1.
However Available in Older versions What is that mean ? the version is obsolete ???
Kindly give me the authentic answer
Thanks in Advance.
You must download the latest version. During setup, you can choose which versions of the SDK to download and install, going right back to version 1.
I think 2.0.1 has been "deprecated" as there is (and will never be) any devices that runs it. The only one was Droid/Milestone and it has been updated to 2.1/2.2.
If you need older version just to develop for earlier versions of API then get newest SDK version.
After that you can install only components you like and select them when creating the project.
See documentation: http://developer.android.com/sdk/adding-components.html.
You need to first install ADT plugin in eclipse.Follow the steps given below to do the same
http://developer.android.com/intl/de/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#installing
Once you are done open ADT Plugin from eclipse. You need to download the SDK's that you require from this plugin directly
You can see the list of sdk's in "Available Packages" option something similar to the screenshot shown in this page
http://developer.android.com/intl/de/sdk/installing.html#components
Just select the SDK accept the terms and conditions. Your download should start
