Missing SDK platform Android, API 18

Question

While I am trying to Install API 18 it shows only \"Google API 18\"(nothing more). Now if I try to install these google APIs from Android SDK Manager

Answer 1

I´ve solved with this:

1. Open Android SDK Manager -> Packages -> Reload
2. Restart Android SDK Manager
3. Install the "missing" packages (now visible)

Answer 2

I had this problem on my Mac and Windows development machines. The only solution is to reinstall the latest version of the Android SDK. Google really dropped the ball on this.

Answer 3

I had a similar issue as you (purely from problem description), but my Android SDK Platform-tools WAS already installed (16.0.2). All the other packages didn't recognize it, however. I ended up uninstalling the platform tools, and then reinstalling. Then everything else recognized it.
