Android: Download the Android SDK components for offline install

Question

Is it possible to download the Android SDK components for offline install without using the SDK Manager? The problem is I am behind a firewall which I have no control over and both sites download URLs seem to be blocked (throws a connection refused exception)

https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml

http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml

Failed to fetch URL http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: Connection refused: connect

EDIT: I am using Windows XP

Answer 1

Which OS?

Everything you download should be placed in the android-sdk folder (in my case: j:\android-sdk-windows).

You can execute "SDK Setup.exe" (or the mac/linux command for this) and download everything and just copy your complete android-sdk folder to another computer. I have the complete SDK + Eclipse + Workspace on an external HDD that I can just plug in to another Computer and it works (except for JDK which should be installed and the AVD's which are located in the user directory). Don't forget to set the ANDROID_HOME environment var to point to your install dir.

Update: In the SDK Downloader you have a "force https:// sources to be fetched using http://" checkbox under the settings menu. Maybe check (or if checked) uncheck this may help you to download everthing from your firewalled computer.
