Unable to resolve target 'android-8'

Long story short, eclipse updated ADT & SDK to v20 , which I didn't like and wanted to get back to 18.

So I uninstalled ADT and SKD and donwloaded v18 from

http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r18-windows.exe

and http://dl.google.com/android/ADT-18.0.0.zip

Installed both of them, yet now Eclipse can't seem to find some sdk platform and throws the "Unable to resolve target 'android-8'" error... any ideas what might be wrong?

Solution

in android sdk window go to:

tools >> options

will be open a new window and check the option force https:// ....

disable this checkbox

if your network is using proxy conigure it in this window too.

reload or restart the android sdk window and try download again. :)
