Where can I download an older version of the Android SDK?

Question

I want to download an older version of the Android SDK: 21.0.0, Where can I do this?

I currently have the latest version of the android SDK, downloaded from HERE.

However I want an older version, can the Full older version of the SDK be downloaded from anywhere?

I am trying to get the older version using SDK manager, but It is not working. I.e. it is only giving me build tools etc.

Answer 1

Have you tried the links at: http://developer.android.com/sdk/older_releases.html?

• OR -

First check this link to find out what revision number you need. Then use one of these links:

http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r[rev]-windows.zip
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r[rev]-linux.zip
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r[rev]-macosx.zip

Example for v21.1 for Windows:

http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r21.1-windows.zip

You need to use the exact revision number as listed in the link above. Examples: 22, 22.0.1, etc...

Answer 2

Official Android Studio download archives containing all releases can be found here: https://developer.android.com/studio/archive

Android Studio will contain the SDK.

Answer 3

I was also looking for this & found this little easier to download previous ANDROID SDK version.

For MAC

• Open Android Studio
• Navigate to Preference as following

android studio >> preferences >> Appearance & Behaviours >> Android SDK

• On right pane: You can see mapping of SDK against API Levels.
• Select the version you want & Click APPLY.
• This will download the selected SDK version and install.

This page provides archived and obsolete versions of the Android SDK, including non-current versions of active releases and "early look" versions that were released before Android 1.0.
