I am trying to install on a VM that is offline. I have downloaded eclipse. I have downloaded the android sdk and pointed to it in eclipse. I still cannot see any target platforms in order to create an android project. What am i missing? I need to set this up without using the android sdk/avd manager to download the platforms. Can anyone help me? I have been trying to figure this out for 3 days. Thanks.
Sorry But I have No time to answer
This helped me to do it

I don't think there's a way to download them outside of the SDK/AVD manager. If your VM doesn't have network connectivity, your best bet is probably to download the SDKs you are interested in (from a different system) and manually copy over the files. The SDKs will reside in the "platforms" directory underneath the SDK root. If you download the Google API add-ons, those files will reside in the "add-ons" subdirectory.

How can I share a project/working directory between two Android Studio installation in two different computers? The shared repository is a file sharing cloud service like Dropbox.com or box.net.
The reason I want to do this is that I have a desktop and a laptop each with Android Studio. I want to be able to seamlessly do development work between the two systems without having to checkin or checkout code in a code repository.
I don't plan to run the two Android Studio concurrently. This is just for me - one user.
I used to be able to do this with Eclipse ADT but with Android Studio I am getting multiple errors - missing libraries, etc.
Any suggestions on this use case is also welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Ray
It is actually working, to begin with. It was an oversight on my part. I needed to download the latest version of Android Studio (including the updates). Since applying updates I can open the project in another device by referencing the project working folder in the shared folder (in this case Box.net). I just get an initial prompt on the SDK location, that it is unable to find the original location. But it did offer to use the SDK location on the current computer.
When using the current device's SDK folder it will say that it will "modify the project's local.properties file." I click OK on this and it's all good.
This is what I wanted to do. But I'm looking at GitHub now. Thanks.
I am trying to migrate from ADT to Xamrin.
I have installed Xamarin on Windows.
I have installed sdk. But when I try to download tools and sdks from SDK manager I get and error like this:
But since I already had downloaded everything when I was using ADT, I copied the sdk folder to the new computer I have Xamarin on.
But Xamarin does not seem to be able to locate sdk.
I have installed Android sdk here:
When I go to tools->options and I enter the address of the sdk folder, the red cross does not go away. I tried entering all subfolders in sdk folder.
What am I supposed to do?
I've been dealing with this the whole day. No usefull link or guide since Xamarin is not stoll widely used. Any help is appreciated.
First of all, it's a good idea to remove all spaces from pathes.
I use C:\Android as my base path, c:\Android\SDK, c:\Android\NDK etc. I had some serious problems with Xamarin and spaces / accented characters in path in previous versions.
Furthermore there's an Access Denied on your path in the first screenshot, add read/write rights recursively for the folder c:\program files (x86)\Android (Everyone - Full control if anything fails)
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?
Okay so I have followed instructions on earlier questions in order to offline install the Android SDK, platform-tools and tools, and now I am trying to install an Android platform. (When I run "android list targets", it returns that there are no available targets, and the platforms folder is empty).
What types of files are actually IN the platforms directory? I have files from the repository like "system.img" and "kernel-qemu", but I don't know where to put them.
Could someone let me know what their C:\Android\platforms folder structure actually looks like for a working installation?
(NB: for background, I am able to get to the URL "dl-ssl.google.com" through my browser and even the Eclipse internal browser, but for some reason it can't be accessed from the SDK manager, so I can't download any components or platforms!!)
For what purpose you want to install android platform? If you want to develop apps, you need a lot of stuff from platform folder except "system.img" and "kernel-qemu": android.jar, ant tasks, tools and a lot of resources. If you want just to run emulator, you probably need not all of that...
This is contents of my platform folder: http://ccfit.nsu.ru/~izhovkin/list.txt
I am using eclipse as IDE for android programming. I have update android SDK to API 9. these are installed on my laptop.
Now, I want to transfer all of these to my PC. On my PC, I didn't have eclipse and SDK.
My question is, may I copy folders of eclipse and SDK from laptop and paste it on my PC? can I use it and create new project after this?
Thanks
Try and see is the best answer to this.
My suggestions is to launch eclipse on your desktop and get ADT.
Otherwise I think you have to be careful where your Android SDK is. if you put in Eclipse then it should work.
(In my case I needed the SDK and NDK to be at the root of C:)
bottom line there is not better way than a clean installation
Yes, you can just copy the whole project (your app) folders over to your PC. In Eclipse, use the File/Import… command, then select General/Existing Projects into Workspace to add the copied project/s to your Eclipse workspace.
As for the Android SDK folder, I wouldn't transfer that one over, and just run the SDK installer for Windows again on the second PC to be sure.
Yes Very much. Just copy and paste. This should work in most cases. (Except if you try to transfer a 64bit eclipse version to a 32bit machine. If this happens just download the eclipse 32 bit version and point your workspace and android SDK to the copied one).
Copy paste has and advantage if you are planning to generate debug key (need this if you are using Location Information using Google API). If you copy paste, you dont have to keep generating a new key per machine.
Yes, you can copy all the things as far as you keep respecting the path changes. Keep track of them and change paths in Eclipse. You must have Java although.
