Update 2:

Solution to emulator package issue!

After digging in the repo's XML for a while I've spotted the issue.

It turns out that the "emulator" package is only in channel 3 (canary) while the "tools" package is in channel 0 (stable) but depends on "emulator". The solution is to force the manager to download the "emulator" package from channel 3:

./sdkmanager --channel=3 emulator 

Problem solved!

Answer 2

This is what worked for me:

1. Download the command line tools, place them in the SDK folder (e.g., on mac: /Users/user/Library/Android/sdk), and then add the bin folder to the PATH.
2. Install the latest platform: in a terminal, execute sdkmanager "platforms;android-25"
3. Open Android Studio, and go to the SDK Manager (Appearance and Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK)
4. Click on "Edit", and then select the sdk folder. Then "Next" > "Next" > "Finish".

I hope this works for you too.
