If you enter the URL in a browser and then look at the source code of the page you will see that an  XML document is returned   The reason why that URL would work in a browser but not in the android manager might be that you are required to specify a proxy server  In Eclipse  3 5 2  the proxy settings can be found here   Window  -   Preferences  -   General  -   Network Connections

I had the same problem  I use Ubuntu 12 04  I tried disabling ipv6   Modify the  etc sysctl conf and add the following   disable ipv6 net ipv6 conf all disable ipv6   1 net ipv6 conf default disable ipv6   1 net ipv6 conf lo disable ipv6   1   Then restart the machine and check  I think this may be a ipv6 issue even in Windows OS

After 7 long hours of searching I finally found the way   None of the above solutions worked  only one of them pointed towards the issue   If you are on Win7  then your Firewall blocks the SDK Manager from retrieving the addon list  You will have to add  android bat  and  java exe  to the trusted files and bingo  everything will start working

I had the same problem  the latest update failed to install because it couldn t rename the tools folder in android-sdk-windows   I m using AVG antivirus and disabling it didn t help  but I don t think it had anything to do with the AV program anyway   Fact is  running the Android SDK setup apparently uses items in the  android-sdk-windows tools  directory   I m on Win Vista x32 so maybe that causes some unique situation - I m not sure   Solution    I made a copy of the tools folder itself  keeping it at the same directory tree level  thus  tools  and  tools-copy  were both in the  android-sdk-windows  folder   I ran Android bat from that copy I ran the update without problems  it updated the original  not-being-used-at-the-moment tools folder  among whatever other items it needed to   I closed the SDK  deleted the folder  I had to kill the adb exe process first - not sure why that always persists but you can t delete the folder without doing that   I restarted the SDK from the normal  now-updated  tools folder   Worked like a charm    Note that simply killing adb exe was NOT sufficient to get around the original issue    only by copying the tools folder and using the copy to run Android for the duration of the update process was enough to rectify the problem   I hope this helps others    it s quite vexing to have to spend time resolving basic issues like this just to run an update

Investigating this error on my new Win 7 laptop  I found my ADT plugin to be missing  By adding this I solved the problem  Downloading the ADT Plugin  Use the Update Manager feature of your Eclipse installation to install the latest revision of ADT on your development computer   Assuming that you have a compatible version of the Eclipse IDE installed  as described in Preparing for Installation  above  follow these steps to download the ADT plugin and install it in your Eclipse environment   Start Eclipse  then select Help   Install New Software     Click Add  in the top-right corner  In the Add Repository dialog that appears  enter  ADT Plugin  for the Name and the following URL for the Location  https   dl-ssl google com android eclipse  Click OK  Note  If you have trouble acquiring the plugin  try using  http  in the Location URL  instead of  https   https is preferred for security reasons       In the Available Software dialog  select the checkbox next to Developer Tools and click Next      In the next window  you ll see a list of the tools to be downloaded  Click Next      Read and accept the license agreements  then click Finish   Note  If you get a security warning saying that the authenticity or validity of the software can t be established  click OK      When the installation completes  restart Eclipse

I am using Kaspersky  I just turned it off and the issue was solved

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

All that was necessary for me  a Ubuntu user  was to change the owner of the    android directory   In a terminal type the following command   sudo chown -R username username    android   Obviously  you must replace  username   twice  with your username   I wasn t sure if I should post this as an answer because the original poster s question was concerning Windows Vista  not Ubuntu   However I found this post whilst searching for the answer on Ubuntu so I believe it is pertinent   I don t have sufficient reputation to comment on  Maher Gamal s answer  though  which is what lead me to this answer   Hopefully someone else finds it useful

I had a similar situation where I had the proxy settings already set and the SDK manager wasn t able to modify them permanently  Modifying manually the    android androidtool cfg file fixed the issue
