Sorry for the late reply.Hope it helps someone else

This problem is related with your SDK, not with your JDK. You can check your version information from

Help > About > Show Details

You will get something like

Xamarin.Android Version: 6.0.2.1 (Starter Edition) Android SDK: X:\Android\android-sdk

Supported Android versions:

4.0.3 (API level 15)

4.4 (API level 19)

6.0 (API level 23)

SDK Tools Version: 24.4.1

SDK Platform Tools Version: 23.0.1

SDK Build Tools Version: 24 rc2

Java SDK: X:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_71

java version "1.7.0_71"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_71-b14)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.71-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

If you are using preview tools for building ,then you will get similar errors all over.

What to do now?

goto

Tools -> SDK manager

1. Select all items in preview channels including Android SDK build tools with rev 24rc2 or 24rc4(latest)

2. Click on Delete 'n' packages

How to turn off preview channel

1. In SDK manager, select

   Tools > options

2. Uncheck Enable preview tools

And what

Back to your code Clean all and rebuild (In rare cases, you have to select build-tools from project settings page)
