Android Studio SDK is not compatible with Windows

Question

I installed Android Studio on Windows 10. When I open the Android SDK Manager and try to install the 2.2 SDK platform, I have a problem. It is incompatible with Windows and I cannot install it. I attached a screen shot of the problem. I cannot install version lower than 4.0 (API 14).

Answer 1

Ok, I had the same problem, but I managed to fix it (I suppose)

Found a website with offline downloads for each version

If you download them and put in the android-sdk / platform folder named as "android-APINUMBER", for example, version 2.1 will be "android-7", then you will restart the manager and they will be shown as installed, hope that helps, as well as I hope they make them downloadable again.

Answer 2

The api level 8 is very old, and according to api distribution, the distribution of api level 8 is 0.1%. Most libraries and applications in the game store today will focus on newer devices, so it makes no sense to support devices with api level 8. Therefore, it is advisable to orient newer devices and newer apis , which have more features.

Answer 3

This is not just 2.2, marked as not compatible with Windows.

Answer 4

I had the same problem. To solve this problem, I clicked on Packages from above and clicked Show Obsolete Packages , which then allows you to download / install the package

Answer 5

Correction - run SDK Manager.exe in administrator mode. You need to start it manually from the android \ sdk directory. This fixes the problem.

Answer 6

I had the same problem, but I solved the following:

1) Install jdk1.8 ...

2) In AndroidStudio File-> Project Structure-> SDK Location, select the directory where the JKD is located, by default Studio uses the built-in JDK, but for some reason it gives an error = 216.

3) Click OK.

Today I faced the same problem. Later I discovered that security software takes virtualization. My solution is to disable the use of security software for virtualization. Disconnect!
