Android SDK beginner question

I'm a n00b developer at my second attempt to use the Android SDK. I'm developing on the Mac platform and I've noticed that the latest version of the SDK doesn't include anything except the tools (so I have no plugins, no targets to choose from inside the package I downloaded).

So I tried to use the Android SDK and AVD Manager to download and install some, however, I got this error: Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/

I went to the settings and checked the box to force fetching via HTTP, but no result. I was suggested to look for a configuration file, but couldn't find any.

Any suggestions? I'm dying to get my hands dirty with the SDK.

Answer 1

Whenever I've seen that error, I've just retried the download several times and eventually it went through. I've only run into it when I was behind a proxy, but that might not be your problem.
