If you are using Xamarin Studio, you will need to go to Xamarin Studio -> Preferences -> Android, then under the Projects section on the left, expand SDK Locations. Here you can update the location of the SDK and the NDK.

If you are using Visual Studio, you will need to go to Tools -> Options, then navigate down to the Xamarin section. Expand Xamarin and select Android. Here you can update the location of the SDK and NDK.

This process may require a restart of Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio for the changes to take effect.
