Check if Android SDK package is installed programmatically

Question

I\'m making an alternative for the GUI stand-alone SDK Manager (it\'s gone on Android SDK 25), I\'ve found in Android Studio the required XMLs to retrieve packages.

Answer 1

You must do 2 separate work to done:

1. Parse giving xmls from urls like (https://dl.google.com/android/repository/repository2-1.xml)
2. Read files description in every folder in your SDK path

for example: in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-23 in my laptop there is file with source.properties name with following contents:

Pkg.Desc=Android SDK Platform 6.0
Pkg.UserSrc=false
Platform.Version=6.0
Platform.CodeName=
Pkg.Revision=3
AndroidVersion.ApiLevel=23
Layoutlib.Api=16
Layoutlib.Revision=3
Platform.MinToolsRev=22

there is source.properties file in every folder. I hope this helps you ;)
