I need an older version of the Android SDK. Where can I find it?

Question

I need to get version 19.0.2 of the Android SDK Platform tools. It is a long story but basicaly the OS usins glibc version 2.5. So I need an older version of the SDK. Google does not tell me directly where I can find it.

Answer 1

I had a look at the repository descriptors:

https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository-7.xml

Maybe it works when if you download and install it manually:

https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r19.0.1-linux.zip

Answer 2

See this answer for getting earlier versions of the Android ADT plugin for Eclipse.

Then just download the SDK you need after installing the ADT Version that you want. Keep in mind that prior to rev 23, the most recent version was 22.6.3, so you can simply change the URL to those numbers and get the latest version prior to the L Preview release.

Answer 3

To use a specific version of the Build Tools in your application project. Refer :

In the Android SDK manager, you can download the 19.0.2 of the android sdk.

The SDK manager is located {ANDROID_SDK_DIRECTORY}/tools/android
