Newbie here.
I’m using the Android SDK Manager. After each package install completes, I’m presented with yet more packages to install. So far, this has taken 2 days and counting.
Do I need to install everything or can I stop after the first set of installs?
Good question,
It depends on target platform u want to test or release you game for .
so If u want to release ur game as minimum android version required is 5 or lolipop , then u dont need to download all previous SDKs . u have slow internet connection thats the reason, I remember when I did that for first time 3 years ago on 1mbit internet speed, it tooks 3 days something like that while installing everything since I was out of experience .
You need to install target device sdk , java and ndk .
You dont need to download all sdks unless u will have different release for each platform version .
Thanks for the reply. In the end I just stopped clicking the “Install N packages” button. everything seems to be working so far.
