Manage Android SDK packages

Since Android SDK Tools version 25.3.0, Android has only a command-line tool, sdkmanager, for SDK package management. To make SDK management easier, Qt Creator has an SDK Manager for installing, updating, and removing SDK packages. You can still use sdkmanager for advanced SDK management.

To view the installed Android SDK packages, select Preferences > Devices > Android > SDK Manager.

Show SDK packages

To filter packages, select Available, Installed, or All.
