Xamarin Android SDK Location
<p>I would like to find out about some logic as to why/where the android SDK items are being picked up.</p>

<ol>
<li>Installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 as my old hard drive died.</li>
<li>I installed Visual Studio + Xamarin</li>
<li>I have installed Android API 24 + 23</li>
<li>Started new project</li>
</ol>

<p>Get an error saying that Xamarin cannot find Android SDK API 24 android.jar even though the following file exists (where Xamarin Android SDK manager installed it):</p>

<p><code>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-24\android.jar"</code></p>

<p>Although investigating the message further, I found that it is looking for a folder called</p>

<p><code>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-N\android.jar"</code></p>

<p>so I copied + renamed the folder and it seems to be working.</p>

<p>I would like to understand where is it picking up the specific sub platform paths from so I can debug fix these issues easier.</p>
