Understanding Android SDK Manager

The original SDK package you have downloaded includes only the SDK tools. The Android SDK is a separate tools, platforms and other components into packages you can download using the Android SDK Manager. To develop an Android app, you must have downloaded at least one Android platform and the latest SDK platform tools.

There are several different packages available for the Android SDK.ded at least one Android platform and the latest SDK platform tools. I will show you how to add Platforms and Packages.

First of all, launch the SDK Manager.
  • If you are using Eclipse then go to Windows > Android SDK Manager
  • On Windows, double-click the SDK Manager.exe file at the root of the Android SDK directory.
  • On Mac or Linux, open a terminal and navigate to the tools/ directory in the Android SDK, then execute android sdk.
