No Internet connection on Xamarin

Question

I downloaded the studio, xamarin added, everything seems to be okay, it's downloading. By the end, when it's downloaded, I create a project, for example xamarin forms, it is created, opens and everything seems to be fine, but when I go to Tools > Android > Android SDK Manager: an error is displayed that there is no Internet connection, but it is. It happens that he automatically suggests downloading sdk for android, I accept but a little later the same error. I have windows 7, I turned off the Windows firewall but still did not help. Please help...

Have a check with the Requirements when Setting up the Android SDK for Xamarin.Android .

To use the Xamarin Android SDK Manager, you will need the following:

• Visual Studio 2019 Community, Professional, or Enterprise.

• OR Visual Studio 2017 (Community, Professional, or Enterprise edition). Visual Studio 2017 version 15.7 or later is required.

• Visual Studio Tools for Xamarin version 4.10.0 or later (installed as part of the Mobile development with .NET workload ).

The Xamarin Android SDK Manager also requires the Java Development Kit (which is automatically installed with Xamarin.Android). There are several JDK alternatives to choose from:

• By default, Xamarin.Android uses JDK 8 , which is required if you are developing for API level 24 or greater ( JDK 8 also supports API levels earlier than 24).

• You can continue to use JDK 7 if you are developing specifically for API level 23 or earlier.

• If you are using Visual Studio 15.8 Preview 5 or later, you can try using Microsoft's Mobile OpenJDK Distribution rather than JDK 8 .
