I've downloaded and installed android-sdk_r15-macosx, downloaded the platforms I need with the SDK Manager, but I couldn't find a way to install the docs.
Before the docs used to be in $ANDROID_SDK/docs/, and there was a corresponding item in the list of downloadable packages in the SDK Manager, but now I don't even see it in the list
~/local$ ls android-sdk-macosx/
SDK Readme.txt add-ons platform-tools platforms samples temp tools
Am I missing something?
It should be under Android 4.0 (API 14) (since the doc always relates to the latest release), named Documentation for Android SDK.
(at least it's there for me, I'm on linux though)

I have two Windows 10 machines with the latest Visual Studio 2017 (15.9.18) installed. But one of the machines has a different Android SDK Platform-Tools version in the Android SDK Manager:
One has 28.0.0 and the other one has 29.0.1. How can I get them on the same version?
Now I found a way to change the Android SDK Platform-Tools. You can download the versions from here:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r29.0.1-windows.zip
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r28.0.0-windows.zip
Then go to your Android SDK Location (for me it is C:\Users\some-user\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools) and put the files from the archive in this directory. Make a backup first - just in case.
Don't know why you can't do this in the Android SDK manager (Android SDKs and Tools Version 1.2.192 (d15-9/9312139)) itself and why he doesn't offer an upgrade after initial installation of Xamarin.

explain how to setup the android sdk with LiveStudio on MacOs. I am using Android Studio Version 2.3.1 succesfully on Mac OS Sierra using the path Library/Android/sdk (relative to my home directory).
When I try to select that path for LiveCode Version 9.0.0 dp-6 in Mobile Support/Location of Android development SDK root
i get the message
"The chosen folder is not a valid Android SDK. Please ensure you have installed it correctly, and enabled support for Android 4.0.3 (API15)".
So i checked the installed SDKs platforms and Android 4.0.3 IceCreamSandwich API Level 15 Revision 5 is indeed installed.
The problem seems to haven been common in the past see e.g.
http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?t=15215
Which folder needs to be specified when selecting the location of the Android development SDK?
What can I do about this with the current state of LiveCode and Android SDK versions?
Will this happen again on Android SDK changes?
You must use absolute path, not relative path.
It's a folder containing:
add-ons
docs
platforms
samples
sources
temp
build-tools
extras
platform-tools
SDK
Readme.txt
system-images
tools
There's a limit to which I can download Packages.
So can anyone explain that what will be the essential components that must be downloaded in order to get started with sdk or to just make it work fine.
I am searching for the minimal components to be downloaded.
When I launch SDK manager it shows up a list showing various packages,
Very First Android 6.0 API contains lot's of other packages within, So of them which Packages are must to install.
The packages that has been installed are,
The thing that's confusing me, is this list of packages:
So Question,
Which are mandatory to get started?
By default, the Android SDK does not include everything you need to start developing. The SDK separates tools, platforms, and other components into packages you can download as needed using the Android SDK Manager. So before you can start, there are a few packages you should add to your Android SDK.
As a minimum when setting up the Android SDK, you should download the
latest tools and Android platform:
Open the Tools directory and select:
Android SDK Tools
Android SDK Platform-tools
Android SDK Build-tools (highest version)
Open the first Android X.X folder (the latest version) and select:
SDK Platform A system image for the emulator, such as
ARM EABI v7a System Image
For more details you should read official documents Adding SDK Packages .I hope it will helps you .
Here list of packages you must install for the proper functioning.
Latest version of :
Android SDK Tools
Android SDK Platform-tools
Android SDK Build-tools
Based on your application you can what all API needed.
Important things download from API(XX) -(Android X.X) packages are.
SDK Platform
if you are testing application using emulator then download the System Image , such as ARM EABI v7a System Image, Intel x86 Atom System Image (no need to download System Image for TV and Wear).

I'm stumped after doing a fresh install of Android Development Tools r21. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I've installed this and I am looking to create an AVD for Android 2.1 (API 7) to test some things, but I cannot find an option to install the Android 2.1 system image. In fact, nothing prior to Android 4.0 is an available system image for an AVD.
I've installed the SDK Platform but it doesn't include the system image. Based on the Official Add-on Sites, I tried to go to https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img.xml but this is essentially an empty XML file.
I've also checked the ADT Known Issues http://tools.android.com/knownissues
Finally, from How install old ADT13 in Eclipse I gleaned the possible add-on site of https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, but that doesn't pull anything into the SDK Manager either.
Does anyone know how to get this working?
Android SDK Manager
Android SDK Manager - Add-on Sites
I've solved my own issue. Apparently starting in Android Developer Tools R21
System images of Android 4.0 and newer
Installed by checking the ARM EABI v7a System Image box in the Android SDK Manager
System images of older than Android 4.0
Installed by checking the SDK Platform box in the Android SDK Manager
This was the source of confusion.
Additionally you must restart Eclipse to get it to be an available option, which I didn't do.
I have attempted to update my Android SDK to r14, which broke my code. In an effort to recover my old revision, I've uninstalled the entire SDK, and ran the r13 installer again.
The SDK Manager installs without error. However, the only packages available in the Android Repository are the next revision of the SDK tools (r14) and r8 of the platform-tools. I can't download/install any version of the Android APIs, since none seem to exist.
I should note that if I choose to upgrade to SDK r14 from this state, I can then see the full history of Android/Google APIs available to the manager.
Has anyone else attempted to re-install the Android SDK from old revisions and run into this problem? If so, how have you retrieved and installed the APIs?
I am running Windows 7, 64-bit
With the release of ICS (SDK v14), Android has also changed the structure of their SDK archive. Older versions of the SDK tools, specifically older versions of the SDKManager, cannot see the SDK archives because the repository URL is different.
The new Android API archive repository (as of this writing) is located here.
The new Google API archive is located here.
You can browse to each URL and download the APIs manually by replacing the xml file names at the end of the URL with the URL file for each API listed.
More details can be found here.
