What does Full List (Unsupported) mean when selecting the options in Android SDK Manager as part of Visual Studio 2019. Why is Android NDK no longer used in Visual Studio 2019. Can we use the earlier option and change the path of the Android SDK that may be in some other partition. How does this impact our development when choosing Full List or Approved List (Recommended). This also means that the Android SDK has to be installed in C:\ and it takes up space as well in C. We were also able to save the Android SDK and NDK in any partition on the desktop and use the stand alone Android SDK Manager to update the components of Android or download new versions.īut now I notice that Android SDK and Java SDK are included as part of the setup packages when installing and configuring Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition to develop for Xamarin. When all the paths were verified a green tick would appear and then we were able to develop for Xamarin using the above paths. When we were using Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017 we had the option in Tools | Preferences | XamarinĬhoosing the path of the Android SDK, Android NDK and the Java SDK. These downloads should be kept up to date going forward, so have fun.This is in relation to the question asked in the forums earlier. It's much safer to get the tools from Google, and now it's easier too. There are some third-parties that host files like ADB and fastboot, but then you have to wonder if the files are out of date or malicious in some way. If you're not doing development work, you don't need all that junk. Even the smaller command line tools download is still 200-300MB.
Previously, you'd have to download Android Studio or the SDK to get these, which are a 400MB-1.6GB download.
You get a ZIP file containing the platform tools folder with ADB, fastboot, and a few other tools.
You can get the platform tools for Windows, Linux, or Mac direct from Google's servers. You used to need to grab a giant package of other junk from Google to get them, but no more! Google has started hosting platform tools downloads without the other stuff that are a mere 3.5MB. Maybe you're flashing an OTA or unlocking the bootloader. As an Android nerd, there are times you probably need ADB or fastboot to mess around with your phone.
