Xamarin Studio cannot find Android tools/devices

After installing Xamarin Studio, I've found it to miss Android related items such as Android SDK Manager under Tools menu:

enter image description here

Additionally I cannot run the application on an actual device, nor see any emulator: enter image description here

Please note that I've developed Android app using Eclipse prior to this so I have everything properly setup (including device driver, ADB, Android SDK/NDK, etc), and have also made Xamarin Studio work on another computer. The problem is that it refuses to work on this particular computer, and uninstall/install it didn't help.

How do I fix it so that Android tools are shown in Tools menu and I can run Xamarin applications on an emulator/actual device?

The following steps resolved the issue for me:

  1. Uninstall Xamarin Studio
  2. Uninstall x86 JRE/JDK 1.6 installed by Xamarin Installer
  3. Run Xamarin Installer and let it reinstall both JRE/JDK & Xamarin Studio

Don't know why the Xamarin installation wasn't working correctly the first time, nor why the above steps work, but it worked.
