Android Studio SDK is not compatible with Windows

Question

I've installed Android Studio in Windows 10. When I open Android SDK Manager and try to install 2.2 SDK platform I have the problem. It's not compatible with Windows and I can't install it. I've attached a screen shot of the problem. I can't install any version below 4.0 (API 14).

Answer 1

Today, I encountered the same problem. Later, I found that a security software takes up virtualization. My solution is to turn off the use of security software for virtualization. Turn off!

Answer 2

I had the same issue, but I have resolved it the next:

1) Install jdk1.8...

2) In AndroidStudio File->Project Structure->SDK Location, select your directory where the JKD is located, by default Studio uses embedded JDK but for some reason it produces error=216.

3) Click Ok.

Answer 3

The fix is to run SDK Manager.exe in Administrator mode. You need to run it manually from the android\sdk directory. This clears the issue.

Answer 4

I had same problem. To solve it I clicked on Packages at top and clicked Show Obsolete Packages which then enables you to download/install the package

Answer 5

It's not just 2.2 flagged as not compatible with Windows.

Answer 6

The api level 8 is very old and according to the api distribution the distribution of api level 8 is 0.1%. Most of the libraries and apps comes today on play store will be targeting newer devices so there is no meaning of supporting devices with api level 8. So it is advisable to target newer devices and newer apis which have more features.

Answer 7

Allright I had the same problem but managed to fix it (I believe)

Found a website that has standalone downloads for each version

If you download them and place them into the android-sdk/platforms folder named as "android-APINUMBER" for example version 2.1 would be "android-7" then you reload the manager and they will show as installed, hope that helps and also I hope they make them downloadable again.
