I'm trying to follow this guide to install Visual Studio with the Android SDK manager: Link to guide: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/get-started/installation/android-emulator/hardware-acceleration?pivots=windows
So I downloaded Visual Studio from here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/
After installation, the menu Tools > Android > Android SDK Manager is not available.
What should be done to make the menu available? And be able to open the Android SDK Manager?
using Visual Studio 2019:
You will need to run the "Visual Studio Installer" again. Then click modify, and in the Workloads tab, select:
Mobile development with .NET. Build cross-platform applications for iOS, Android or Windows using Xamarin
The Android SDK manager will be available after you've installed this workload.
You could try to run VS as an administrator, which resolves almost any issue of the kind you are experiencing right now.
Another free advice before you start: if you find any problem building(even when you start VS as admin), first try to delete your \bin and \obj folders and try again. That is the solution to 99% of the issues.
