Missing Android SDK platform, API 18

While I'm trying to install API 18, it only shows "Google API 18" (nothing more). Now I'm trying to install these Google APIs from the Android SDK Manager , the message "this package depends on "Missing SDK platform Android, API 18" displayed there and the install button is disabled.

Does anyone here have any ideas how to install API 18 (4.3_MR2 sdk) using eclipse

Have you installed the Sdk platform tool version 18. Your SDK manager will have the latest version for the PlatForm SDK tools that you must install, then restart eclipse and then try using the Android SDK API 18

Do it first:

Eclipse> Window> Android SDK Manager> Packages> Reboot

Then retry the installation

Another way to fix it:

0) install other packages WITHOUT choosing API 18,

1) restart Eclipse ADT,

2) Open the SDK manager, then API 18 rev 1 will appear.

Late to the game, the same problem. SDK tools, not SDK Platform tools, came to me. It was a four-step process:

  • Eclipse / Help / Check for updates, install everything found, restart Eclipse
  • Eclipse / Window / Android SDK Manager - installed Android support repository (thanks, BurDog). Closed SDK Manager.
  • Eclipse / Window / Android SDK Manager - now Android SDK Tools (Rev 22) appeared at the top, installed. Closed SDK Manager
  • Now there are Android SDK Platform tools installed in the API section 18. Restart Eclipse (or API 18 will not be available everywhere).

Finally, it's good to make a new version.

I had the same situation. For me, updating the ADT plugin to version 22.0.5, closing Eclipse, worked. Then - Eclipse> Window> Android SDK Manager> Packages> Reboot. Hope this helps someone.

There was the same problem. The message was:

google apis package android api 18 version 1 depends on missing sdk platform android api 18

I solved it as follows:

  • Eclipse → Help → Check for updates (then click “OK” when asked - do you want to install it - click “ok” / “yes” to restart eclipse to complete the installation)
  • Window → Android SDK Manager → Unselect all (then scroll down to "Advanced" and select "Android Support Repository", if it is not installed, install it).
  • Window -> Android SDK Manager -> Install xx Packages

worked great for me.

Here is how I fixed mine:

  • In the Manifest Cache section, click Clear Cache
  • Go to the "Packages" section and click "Reload"
  • Verification Tools -> Android Platform Android SDK
  • Install only this package
  • Restart SDK Manager

Eclipse> Window> Android SDK Manager> Packages> Reboot

It worked for me. Thank you Now I can upgrade to 18. I'm new here and tried to vote for the Jaguar post, but I can't.

It seemed like a klukey, I had similar problems. I finally got the 18 msg api when I upgraded the sdk tools to 22, which then caused another error that the tools were degraded on reboot. I reopened sdk mgr and had 22.3 and platform tools for rev19 and some other available tool options. I did another update for them, as well as API19 and API 18, and it looks like it is moving now. I think that perhaps for API 18+ you should upgrade the SDK tools to 22.3 at this point. By the way, I also have a file lock during part of the process and closing the eclipse in the background and fixing retries. dang .. The following states that ADT must be version 22.0+ ..
I upgraded ADT to 22.3 using the eclipse / help / install new program (Trying update just said it was relevant) ... one unsigned content error. Restarting ADT after upgrade .. seems to work from what I can say so far.

I decided with this:

  • Open Android SDK Manager → Packages → Update
  • Restart Android SDK Manager
  • Install the “missing” packages (now visible)

I had this problem on Mac and Windows development machines. The only solution is to reinstall the latest version of the Android SDK. Google really kicked the ball.

I had a similar problem with you (purely from the description of the problem), but my Android SDK platforms for the Android platform are already installed (16.0.2). However, all the other packages did not recognize him. I ended up uninstalling the platform tools and then reinstalling. Then everything else found out.

Found on another website

Steps to fix this problem:

  • Open SDK Manager
  • Go to Tools -> Options
  • In the Manifest Cache section, click Clear Cache
  • Then go to "Packages" and click "Update"

I'm on a MAC, I came across the same question. I could not find the SDK platform in API 18. The solution to solve it on mac first installs the TOOLS SDK, then reboots the sdk manager, and then I found the SDK platform in API 18.

I had the same problem: but with API19 . After each installation, I installed the following individually closing Android SDK Manager (thanks to cdoner):

  • Android SDK Tools 22.3
  • Android 3 Support Repository

And then I was able to install API19 so that it no longer throws an error. ("This package depends on the" Missing Platform SDK Platform, API19 ")

I decided to return to coding after 15 years and was completely new to Java and Android, just by reading the book "Head Start Java". Thank you for the easy steps, especially for someone new.

I could not install the new SDK from Eclipse (Help → Install new software / Check for updates), he complained that the new version was already installed. However, the new SDK did not appear in the SDK manager.

I solved this by installing a new version of the SDK via the command line: updating android sdk --no-ui

Subsequently, it became possible to update google APIs and other tools using the SDK manager.

I had this problem with API 19. The key for me is to use the Android SDK Manager, starting with eclipse. Then the above tip worked to fix the problem.

Reference Information. Due to other command line properties that I did, I started the SDK manager by typing "android" at the command line. - this is what I have already said.

  • he needs the minimum sdk and max sdk packages.
  • you just set the maximum sdk, i.e. API18 3.it also depends on other sdk packages for minimal
