The Xamarin Android SDK Manager helps you download the latest Android components that you need for developing your Xamarin.Android app. Here I got the message that I have to upgrade and there was a link to this page. Since that didn't worked I tried to open the Xamarin Android SDK Manager directly in VS. Then I tried to open the SDK Manager, but it never openened (even after a restart it didn't open). From there I pressed the Start button for one emulator, but it never started up. Preparing 'Install SDK Patch Applier v4'.Īfterwards, I startetd Xamarin Android Device Manager in Visual Studio. 'Install Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)' ready. Preparing 'Install Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)'. Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) (extras intel Hardware AcceleratedExecution_Manager) Here I upgraded to Android SDK Tools 26.1.1.

Then I tried to open Android Studio and use the built in SDK manager. TLDR: The Xamarin Android Device Manager does not seem to work well with VS2015.įirst, I disabled Hyper-V (necessary for Visual Studio Android Emulator).
