  • Run sdk manager and you will see something like this:

    You can check any android version you want here and by clicking apply and ok, it starts downloading. If you don't want the whole package for each android version, you can click the show package detail checkbox on the button right of this window and see details of each package like below image:

    Here you can check any subpackage you need and then click apply and ok.

    It is also possible to copy and paste platforms, build-tools and other modules you need from your eclipse sdk to android studio sdk. Or set in your android studio preferences to use eclipse sdk.
