Android SDK manager fails with this message:

Downloading SDK Platform Android 8.1.0, API 27, revision 1 Download finished with wrong size. Expected

Answer 1

Leo Li's instructions worked for me, too. Thanks for the info!

When download fails, you can notice a temp folder for this path:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\temp". There should be a file called platform-27_r01.zip. Copy it out and extract the android-8.1.0 folder.

The next step, rename it to android-27. Then, copy it to the path.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms"
