Thank you @Joe Axwvhvm? for this post in the earlier community.

Issue:

With recent Android SDK after latest SDK Tools update lot of people might be facing build issues with Kony Studio/Visualizer and are not able to build Android applications any further.

They might be seeing following issues when Android application is tried to build in Kony Studio/Visualizer

1) An error dialog saying (Error.PNG) "At least one SDK should be installed to run an application" (Latest tools update causing issue)

2) Unable to open SDK Manager ( As Android has deprecated standalone SDK manager and removed it from Android SDK)

Prevention:

If you did not update SDK Tools as yet and is not facing this issue and reading it

DO NOT UPDATE SDK TOOLS to latest.

Resolution:

Mean time to accommodate latest Android SDK TOOLS changes, please follow below steps to resolve the Android build issue

Option A:

Copy older SDK if you have a backup else were and use it.

Option B:

Download older android sdk from one of the links below based on the development machine

Android SDK 24.3.3

Windows: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.3.3-windows.zip

  3. DO NOT UPDATE SDK TOOLS to latest
  4. Install platform tools
  5. Install build tools 25 or below which is ever is required based on Kony Studio version you are using
  6. Update Android Support Repo

(Alternatively you can copy "platforms" , "add-ons" , "system-images" & "extras" folders from your older SDK and avoid downloading them again)
