Answer 1

The easiest way to install SDKs for Android it to use Eclipse ADT plugin.

This way you only need to:

1. Download and unpack SDK
2. Install ADT Eclipse plugin
3. Point ADT to SDK location (Window -> Preferences -> Android -> SDK location)
4. Use Window -> Android SDK and AVD Manager to install selected SDK revisions.

That's it.

Answer 2

If you're getting checksum failures then your download didn't complete successfully. Try downloading again. If you have to, use a download manager. Firefox has several download manager extensions that are good.

Answer 3

I had the same problem with wrong checksums. I've disabled my antivirus (AVG) and they downloaded successfully.

Answer 4

I am running AVG Antivirus and was getting invalid checksum errors as well. I disabled:

• Resident Shield
• Link Scanner
• Online Shield
• Anti-Rootkit

You probably don't need to disable all of those, but disabling just the Resident Shield did not work for me.

+1 to chchrist's post for pointing me in the right direction
