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"

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

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

I found another way without setting proxy  I m currently using an antivirus which has a firewall program  Then  I turn off this firewall and now I can fetch that URL   If still doesn t work  try to turn off Firewall on your PC  such as Windows Firewall

If you open  Users  your name  android sdks tools android  double click it   then click on  Android SDK Manager  menu and then  Preferences  and then you can change your proxy settings specifically for Android SDK Manager  These proxy settings also apply to  Android SDK Manager  if used within Eclipse

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

I got the solution for the Android Studio installation after trying everything that I could find on the Internet  If you re using Android Studio and getting this error   Find  Path to Android SDK  sdk tools android bat  In my case  it was in C  Users Nathan AppData Local Android android-studio sdk tools android bat   Right-click it  hit Edit  and scroll all the way down to the bottom   Find where it says  call  java exe   REMOTE DEBUG       Replace that with call  java exe  -Djava net preferIPv4Stack true  REMOTE DEBUG       Restart Android Studio SDK and everything works  This fixed many issues for me  including being unable to fetch XML files or create new projects

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
