How To

# 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 > SDKs > Android > SDK Manager.

## Show SDK packages

To show packages for a release channel in Package, select the channel in Show Packages > Channel. Common channel IDs include Stable, Beta, Dev, and Canary.

To show and update also obsolete packages, select Include obsolete.

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

## Update SDK packages

To update the installed Android SDK packages:

1. Select Update Installed.
2. Select the packages to update.
3. Select Apply.

## Set sdkmanager options

To set advanced `sdkmanager` options:

1. Select Advanced Options.
2. In SDK Manager arguments, enter sdkmanager options from Available arguments.
