I am trying to create a new Blank App (Android) in Visual Studio 2015 with installed Xamarin, Android SDK and Android emulator. When trying to create a new Project, I just get a popup with the message:

Value cannot be null. Parameter name: path1

Solution Explorer is empty and just a empty folder is created in Projects folder.

How can I solve it?

Go to Xamarin Studio Tools-->Options-->SDK

Give the proper locations and restart Visual Studio.This worked for me
