How can I download android android sdk r12

Question

On the official page I see the android-sdk_r16-linux.tgz but I can not found some lower versions from the android skd. Any ideas how can I download some lower version ?

Answer 1

I don't know why you would want to do this (bug fixes and improvement happen with newer releases and you wont be able to build to a target of Android 3.0+), but:

Windows: http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r12-windows.exe

Linux: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r12-linux_x86.tgz

http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r14-linux.tgz (the oldest I can find is r12)

OSX: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r14-macosx.zip (oldest I found is r14)

So, hopefully you are using Windows and then you're in luck.

Hope that helps! Really, though, I would reconsider your motivation to use an outdated plugin.

Thanks to TryTryAgain's lead, I was able to find the right filename for the r12 SDK for linux:

http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r12-linux_x86.tgz

SDK download is just a starter kit, actual platform is downloaded from the Android SDK manager in Eclipse. You can download the version you want by choosing the appropriate checkbox
