Error: This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 22.6.1 or above

I have installed adt version 22.6.1 already 2 days ago. It was working fine. Suddenly, When I open eclipse today, it keeps showing me following error:

This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 22.6.1 or above. Current version is 22.2.1.v201309180102-833290. Please update ADT to the latest version.

Here is screenshot of my eclipse's Android SDK Manager : enter image description here

I tried with following steps to resolve my issue as discussed in this Link

  1. Help | Install new software
  2. Select the ADT update site (there are two, one with http:// and one with https://. If one doesn't work, try the other.
  3. Select the developer tools section and press next.
  4. You should see a dialog that says This software is already installed, an update will be performed instead. Clicking OK will lead to 22.6.1 being installed.

But unfortunately it didn't work for me.

Here is a screenshot I am attaching which shows the error I am getting while updating the tools.

How can I get rid of it?

Solution

  • Yet, if someone is facing this issue, Then follow steps below:

    1. download new stand alone SDK from android's developer site

    2. Close eclipse if it is opened and copy new downloaded sdk in the same location where your already existing old sdk is. Must replace conflict files and keep rest.

    3. No need to delete old sdk. Copying as in step 2 will update your Android Developer Toolkit version to 22.6.1 or above which is required and will keep already downloaded APIs.

    4. Now start your eclipse, and the error will be gone forever. :)

    if someone will have trouble doing so, leave me a comment, will try to guide.
