I'm trying to install a platform but when I open Android Manager then I click Available Software then select the https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml repository

I get this error:

Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml

I have also tried downloading by clicking on force "http:" for all "https:" downloads on settings panel but it still doesn't help.

I'm working on Windows Vista.

Try this solution and it worked. this problem is caused because ADB is unable to connect to the android servers to fetch updates. (If at home try turning off firewall)

  • Goto Android SDK Manager c://android-sdk-windows/ open SDK-Manager
  • Click Settings - Will be asked for a proxy.
  • If have one enter the IP address and the port number. If not turn off your firewall.
  • Check "Force https://... " (to force SDK Manager to use http, not https)

This should work immediately.
