I have created android device as indicated in the microsoft documentation, but I get the error below when I want to test the device on Android device Manager :
i have Visual Studio 2017 version 15.7.
are there any proposals at your place ??
And thank you in advance
You need to update the version of your Visual Studio 2017 to 15.8 or later.
Please check the requirements. To use the Android Device Manager, you will need the following items:
Visual Studio 2019 Community, Professional, or Enterprise.
OR Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8 or later is required. Visual
Studio Community, Professional, and Enterprise editions are
supported.
Visual Studio Tools for Xamarin version 4.9 or later.
The Android SDK must be installed (see Setting up the Android SDK for
Xamarin.Android). Be sure to install the Android SDK at its default
location if it is not already installed: C:\Program Files
(x86)\Android\android-sdk.
The following packages must be installed (via the Android SDK
Manager):
Android SDK Tools version 26.1.1 or late, Android SDK Platform-Tools 27.0.1 or later, Android SDK Build-Tools 27.0.3 or later, Android Emulator 27.2.7 or later.

I have installed VS 2015 Professional installed in my system and want to install VS Emulator for Android as I need it for Xamarin Android development but the setup doesn't seem to have an option for it(below screenshots). Can someone suggest how I can go about with this?
The Visual Studio Emulator for Android is installed with Visual Studio 2015 when you select Visual C++ for Cross Platform Development features.
If you update your VS 2015 to Update 3, you can also see the option Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android:
The emulator can be launched from within Visual Studio 2015 from
Apache Cordova projects
C++ Native Activity (Android) projects
Xamarin Android projects
For Android development, you also need to install the Android SDK. And it is also suggested to create your own emulator with google service, for the emulator installed with VS, Hyper-V should be enabled, and for self-created emulator with Google service, Hyper-V should be disabled. Please refer to Windows Installation and Visual Studio Android Emulator to configure your environment for Xamarin Android development.
So I'm working on an Android application using Xamarin with Visual Studio Community version. The target platform is Android 7.1, however, after installing the SDK for this platform, Visual Studio does not show the option to target this version. I'm wondering if there is a step I'm missing, although the Xamarin instructions say that it should be available after installing.
If you see on this image of the project properties, I can't choose anything other than Android 6.0

And I've installed the 7.1 SDK from the Android SDK Manager

Any extra steps or work arounds that you can think of? Thanks!
firstly I installed visual studio 2015 community. at the end of the installation the android sdk, ios and xamarin studio didn't downloaded correctly Message appeared.
then i was having an offline setup of xamarin studio only so i installed that successfully.
after that i created a new project by FILE->new project-> visual c# -> android ->blank app on visual studio.
now when i RUN it, there are many errors like :
Xamarin.Android for Visual Studio requires Android SDK. Please set Android SDK path on Tools->Options->Xamarin->Android Settings menu.
Since i installed only XAMARIN studio not android sdk, so can i install android sdk again externally just like i installed xamarin studio and if YES then How?
Try Update All the SDK because your project may required higher SDK to build
In Xamarin Studio, Open Tools--->Open Android SDK Manager----->Then install what is missing
I my visual studio 2010 i add mono android.And i installed android sdk and java sdk.But it always shows
'C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-8'.
Ensure you have installed support for this Android platform version in
the Android SDK Manager. C:\Users\Dell\documents\visual studio
2010\Projects\MonoAndroidApplication1\MonoAndroidApplication1\aresgen MonoAndroidApplication1
How to slove this?
Start Android SDK Manager either from inside Visual Studio or from the location "C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools\android.bat".
Once its done loading packages... checkmark "Android 2.2 (API8)" to install support and your error will be resolved.
Alternatively, if you are not planning to support Android 2.2 and are fine with the latest Android version, then in Visual Studio, go to Project Properties >> Application and change the API to whatever API you want.
