I wanted to change my minSDKversion from 10 to 7 of my android app.

I wanted to change my minSDKversion from 10 to 7 of my android app. So I read that I should changen my Manifest to include: 

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="7"
    android:targetSdkVersion="15" />

I wanted to test this with the emulator running release 7 of course. But when I went to create a new AVD, there were no targets for that release. So, I went to the Android sdk manager and selected Android 2.1 (which is release 7). When trying to install this, I got this error:

Downloading SDK Platform Android 2.1, API 7, revision 3 File not found: /home/dorien/bin/android-sdk-linux/temp/android-2.1_r03-linux.zip (Permission denied)

I changed the permissions to this folder for me to 755. When I looked closer, I noticed that /temp/ was empty? How do I fix this? Reinstall android plugin?

Also, when I exported the project, it gave me the following error: 

Conversion for Dalvik format failed. Unable to execute .dex: wrapper was not properly loaded.

I guess this is again due to the release 7 not being installed? I read in forums that I should restart eclipse, but to no avail. Any suggestions as to my next move?

Thanks

    I had the same problem in Windows not in Linux, But the only thing you need to know is about permissions, If you can give read and write permission for this directory then it will be fine.
