Android SDK Manager, local copy of packages

In Windows XP, there is a way:

  • Find the packages downloaded by the Android SDK Manager,
  • Back up packages

And then, with a new installation of Windows XP:

  • Install Android SDK Manager,
  • Copy the package backups to the “correct” location,

Assuming you are using the latest Android SDK r18-

The OS does not matter, the steps below will work for PC, Mac or Linux.

  • Download the SDK for the required platform.
  • Install the necessary packages, such as API 8, Google APIs, etc.
  • Now, after installing the necessary packages, you should see these folders in the SDK installation directory. ( platforms, extras, add-ons, system-images )
  • Just copy them to another system (run ZIP first, since you have thousands of files) where you need to install the packages. (Preinstall SDK r18, extract zip or use .exe, but do not run the SDK manager to update).
  • Launch the SDK Manager and it should detect the packages.

Alternatively, copy the full SDK installation folder and copy it to another system, but it will only work on Windows to Windows and Linux to Linux or Mac to Mac.
