Time to update my SDKs… I launched SDK Manager thinking this would be a simple process but I am stumped by numerous options there.

enter image description here

For example, all I want is to be able to build and test against Android 4.0.3 (API 5), but in addition to the SDK Platform I see ICS_R1 and ICS_R2. What are these? Do I need them?

Also, why doesn’t Android 4.0.4 show up there?

    I see ICS_R1 and ICS_R2. What are these?

    Those are the “Motorola ICS R1/2 SDK Add-on: For handset emulation” packages also available from http://developer.motorola.com/tools/resources/

    A Motorola SDK add-on, when added to the Android™ SDK, allows you to run and debug your applications on an emulated Motorola handset.

    Do I need them?

    No, unless you want to do something specific to Motorola devices.

    Also, why doesn’t Android 4.0.4 show up there?

    4.0.4 is AFAIK just a bugfix release for specific devices but not a real standalone version. Devices running 4.0.4 will be compatible to 4.0.3 and use the same API level
