I forgot to download Google Api 8 from SDK manager. I saw that on the first day i stared downloading the SDKs and APIs. Having a slow net speed i decided not to download at that time.
Now i need this. But the SDK manager cant fetch this. Is there anyways to download and install the API externally? Im using ecplipse.
Some days ago i was also facing same problem The solution works for me is….
1.Get the latest window installer(i used r_14)
2.Also update the ADT plug-in
3.Start the SDK manager.
Now you should see the add-on
If not then Goto Tool option in sdk manager and click on Manage Add-on Site
click new and add the site- http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml
if this not works then add https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml
Now you will definitely able to download the add-on.
NOTE -I also search for externally download but nowhere found it.It is only downloadable from sdk manager.
