You can try to install android JDK manually.

Xamarin.Android uses the Java Development Kit (JDK) to integrate with the Android SDK for building Android apps and running the Android designer. The latest versions of the Android SDK (API 24 and higher) require JDK 8 (1.8).

The steps are as follows：

1.Download JDK 8 (1.8) from the Oracle website :

2. Pick the 64-bit version to allow rendering of custom controls in the Xamarin Android designer:

3.Run the.exe and install the Development Tools.

4.Open Visual Studio and update the Java Development Kit Location to point to the new JDK under Tools > Options > Xamarin > Android Settings > Java Development Kit Location.
