I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2017 with Xamarin using its online installer. But when I tick "Mobile development with .NET" under Workloads it selects an Android SDK setup as well. If I try to untick it (Android SDK setup) then Xamarin will also be unticked.
How can I install only Xamarin without any Android SDKs for Visual Studio 2017?
If you are freshly installing Visual Studio 2017, rather than checking Mobile development with .NET under Workloads you have to tick Xamarin under Individual Components in the installer window.
If you had already installed Visual Studio 17 without Xamarin, then go to,
Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features
Select Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and click on Change. In the appeared Window, select Modify under your specific Visual Studio version listed.
Go to the Individual components tab, now you can select only Xamarin and no other components will be attached to it.
This was my selections under Individual Components to install Xamarin without android. The Green Ticks would be a sufficiently enough selection.

I downloaded latest visual studio 2017 and I have chosen Xamarin while installing it and I already have visual studio 2015 with Xamarin and I was able to develop visual studio Xamarin.winphone along with Xamarin.ios and Xamarin.Droid.
I am aware winphone is deprecated in visual studio 2017 and I thought to develop Xamarin.uwp by migrating all my winphone code uwp.
But When I create a new Xamarin native project I am not able to find Xamarin.uwp but I can find Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Droid.
Here is the screenshot

You said that you installed the "Xamarin program", but what exactly did you install? I cannot tell from your screenshot if you are using Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2015, but...
If you are using Visual Studio 2013, you will need to use the Xamarin Universal Installer(Just input your information and the file will be available to download).
If you are using Visual Studio 2015, then you can install Xamarin directly from within the Visual Studio 2015 installer window. Using Microsoft's guide from here you can:
...open Control Panel > Programs and Features, choose the Visual Studio 2015 item, and click Change. When the installer opens, click Modify
Check the following boxes:
Cross-Platform Mobile Development > C#/.NET (Xamarin)
For Windows 8+: Cross-Platform Mobile Development > Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android
(Optional) If you plan on targeting Windows devices, also check Windows and Web Development > Universal Windows App Development Tools and/or Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools
Click the Install button
Once installation is complete... check for Xamarin updates through Tools > Options > Xamarin or Tools > Options > Xamarin > Other, where you’ll find a Check Now
I am trying to install Xamarin on my PC. I have downloaded Xamarin Studio but am not able to get it to work with Visual Studio 2015.
You'll need to download Xamarin for Visual Studio, not just Xamarin Studio.
You should be able to get the Xamarin for Visual Studio installer via your Xamarin account here: https://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads
Click the Hide all versions link under the blue button, then pick one of the Windows links under Xamarin.iOS or Xamarin.Android to download the installer you need.
Once you install that, you should be ready to work in Visual Studio.
I just downloaded Xamarin for Visual Studio, but since installing Xamarin and restarting my computer, I cannot get it to appear in VS 2013. If Xamarin has installed properly generally you can click Tools -> Options and Xamarin should appear on the menu list.
Am I missing a step?
