Android SDK tools older version (with working android tool)

Question

I've tried to install android SDK from official site. It include latest android SDK tools (version 25.3.1) This package have utility android which is needed by my project (very big one); but this tool is no longer available:

The android command is no longer available.
For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio.
For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager

According to changelog it was discontinued in version 25.3.0 so I tried to check sdkmanager for older versions but unfortunately it only contains single version of tools.

How do I get an old version of android SDK with working android tool?

The official site has only latest version. Other links no longer work.

UPD. Appium also encountered this, they just fixed their tools to use the new setup.

Answer 1

Links described here still work:
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-macosx.zip - Mac OS X
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-windows.zip - Windows
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-linux.zip - Linux

Though it seems that google doesn't want older versions of SDK to be used by all means so this link may not last long.
