So if you are in LC 9.6 DP-4, you will only need the Android 9.0 (Pie) - API 28 platform tools from this tab. These are the required packages of the Platform Tools that are needed for building an Android standalone. LiveCode 9.0.1: Android 4.0.3 (IceCream Sandwich) - API 15 You can have other packages installed too, these are just the required packages: Select the required package for your version of LiveCode. By default, only a few packages are selected. The Android SDK Manager lets you select the packages you would like to install in your Android development environment. I truly understand you can't pick all battles with 3rd party interfaces BUT you must share the details with your clients !!! !!! !!! in a timely manner !!! !!! !!! Just a friendly reminder to the LC MGMT - if you advertise your product as truly X-platform - you must get your docs right 'on time' - you must not say - oh Apple did something with Xcode in the new version where we struggle with same for Oracle Java and Android. otherwise some parts the Android SDK/API will be missing and the LC IDE will recognise neither the Android SDK nor the Java JDK! SO in Android Studio (start screen) go to configure > Android SDK > select the Version and activate 'Show Package Details' !!! - just select all for each Version (I didn't wanna waste my time with finding out what part is missing - so in the interest of time I picked them all).

Panos forgot to add: For all 'first time users' who want or have to start with Android Studio > 3.1 and LC > 9.5, they have to install also the included sub-packages ref to each SDK (eg Pie) + Legacy support as explained by Panos in this DOC. You may have to navigate one level deeper into the folder hierarchy to access the root folder. This indicates that the path you specified is not pointing at the Android SDK root. Please ensure you have installed it correctly, and enabled support for Android 10.0. The following error message may be raised if something is wrong with your set up: The chosen folder is not a valid Android SDK. This ensures that you have selected a valid location and have the required Android components installed. Validation checks are made once you specify the location of the Android SDK root. ' button under Android SDK and choose the folder containing the Android SDK root. This dialog allows you to configure the path to the Android SDK root, which you should already have installed. Launch the LiveCode IDE and select LiveCode -> Preferences on Mac or Edit -> Preferences on Windows to launch the Preferences menu. The next step is to launch LiveCode and configure it to interface with the Android SDK. By now, you should have successfully installed the required software in your development environment.
