i have installed android sdk.
i have also downloaded and installed the adt plugin in my eclipse ide.
now when i go to preferences to set the path for android sdk, when i set the path and then press apply-- automatically the target api should be listed below. But they are not being listed below for some reason.
what could be the problem?
thank you in advance
Within eclipse, go to Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager then choose Installed Packages from the left hand side. Do you see things like SDK Platform Android 2.3, API 9, revision 1 listed? If not then you need to download them. Select Available Packages then expand Android Repository then select the SDK versions you want to download.

I am using eclipse all the time. I want to study android studio , and downloaded android studio and sdk. When I run the sdk manager , only android 7.0 was installed. The new sdk manager has a few differences. I don't know how to download android 5.0 packages?
Run sdk manager and you will see something like this:
You can check any android version you want here and by clicking apply and ok, it starts downloading.
If you don't want the whole package for each android version, you can click the show package detail checkbox on the button right of this window and see details of each package like below image:
Here you can check any subpackage you need and then click apply and ok.
It is also possible to copy and paste platforms, build-tools and other modules you need from your eclipse sdk to android studio sdk. Or set in your android studio preferences to use eclipse sdk.
You should launch the standalone SDK manager to have access to available packages.
Your SDK path is D:\Android\SDK.
Use explorer to open that directory then launch sdk manager.exe.
Now you have access to available packages.
It is also possible using android studio itself. check sdk tools and sdk update sites. Available packages can be found there too.
I want to download an older version of the Android SDK: 21.0.0, Where can I do this?
I currently have the latest version of the android SDK, downloaded from HERE.
However I want an older version, can the Full older version of the SDK be downloaded from anywhere?
I am trying to get the older version using SDK manager, but It is not working. I.e. it is only giving me build tools etc.
Have you tried the links at: http://developer.android.com/sdk/older_releases.html?
OR -
First check this link to find out what revision number you need. Then use one of these links:
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r[rev]-windows.zip
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r[rev]-linux.zip
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r[rev]-macosx.zip
Example for v21.1 for Windows:
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r21.1-windows.zip
You need to use the exact revision number as listed in the link above. Examples: 22, 22.0.1, etc...
Official Android Studio download archives containing all releases can be found here: https://developer.android.com/studio/archive
Android Studio will contain the SDK.
I was also looking for this & found this little easier to download previous ANDROID SDK version.
For MAC
Open Android Studio
Navigate to Preference as following
android studio >> preferences >> Appearance & Behaviours >> Android
SDK
On right pane: You can see mapping of SDK against API Levels.
Select the version you want & Click APPLY.
This will download the selected SDK version and install.
https://developer.android.com/sdk/older_releases
This page provides archived and obsolete versions of the Android SDK, including non-current versions of active releases and "early look" versions that were released before Android 1.0.
Here it is, but only for Windows: Android SDK OLD
If you are using the SDK Manager, just click "Show Package Details" in the lower right hand corner to display all previous versions of the various tools (SDK Command-line, NDK, Build-Tools). Then select the versions you need.
Screenshot of Option in Android Studio highlighted
I have an option grayed out that I must complete to progress with a project. It says that
No system images installed for this target.
This answer is for Eclipse, but I'm not sure if there's an Android Studio equivalent:
Unable to create Android Virtual Device
It is exactly the same answer. You need to download an image for the target SDK. So, open the SDK Manager and you will find a system image for the Android L API Level 20.
You can open the SDK Manager from the Tools Menu -> Android -> SDK Manager
You will see all Platform Tools, System Images, Documentation, etc. nested and grouped by API Level...including the Android L Preview
The Target Version you are selecting you have only installed platform files for this version you have need to install image of that version also.
You can check and install it through Android SDK manager.
Do the following steps:
Open Android SDK Manager. Check selected version and check "ARM EABI...." file for that version is installed or not. If not then install it and try again.
When using the Eclipse plugin, I get stuck at this step...
What's going on..? I did enter a name.
Since the Build SDK field is blank, this indicates you have installed part of the SDK, but none of the SDK Platforms. You need to have one or more SDK Platforms installed as well. Each of these has an API Level and Android version (e.g., Android 4.1 (API 16).
In Eclipse, go to Window -> Android SDK Manager. Select one or more SDK Platforms to install. As an example, the SDK Manager on my system shows shows several SDK Platforms are installed. Here's a partial view:
Note the various versions of the SDK Platform have a status of "Installed"
Why my target option in eclipse is disabled? I cant select the target platform.
On the other hand the platform folder and adds-on are empty.
Plz any ideas?
After you have installed your SDK, you need to download all the platforms you need (like Android 1.5, Google API's, so on...)
Then you should create some virtual devices with some parameters (like screen size, sd card...). Then you should run the app over the platform you like.
I guess you need to install required platforms.
Eclipse > Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager > Available Packages ....
Encountered the same problem. The Android SDK archive does not come populated with a specific Android platform or Google add-on. We can use the SDK Manager to install or update SDK components such as platforms,tools, add-ons, and documentation. I used the eclipse tooling option path provided by the first answer. There is also a "SDK Manager.exe" file that can be used to download outside eclipse.
You need to install the complete API that you're working on.
Suppose, In my case I am working on Android 5.0 SDK Tools and I Froyo 2.2 for minimum SDK Verison support. So Now I have 2 SDK Tools Installed, Android 5.0 and Android 2.2.
To make them support as Target SDK, I need to install the complete package from Android SDK Manager.
In your case install the complete package of the respective API you're using. After installing, restart eclipse and then your Target Option will be enabled.
