Answer 1

By default, the Android SDK does not include everything you need to start developing. The SDK separates tools, platforms, and other components into packages you can download as needed using the Android SDK Manager. So before you can start, there are a few packages you should add to your Android SDK.

As a minimum when setting up the Android SDK, you should download the latest tools and Android platform:

Open the Tools directory and select:

1. Android SDK Tools
2. Android SDK Platform-tools
3. Android SDK Build-tools (highest version)

Open the first Android X.X folder (the latest version) and select:

SDK Platform A system image for the emulator, such as ARM EABI v7a System Image
