I really need your help, maybe you can advice me what should i do .

google search " android sdk" and go to the official site
Sorry cant post the link properly until i have ten posts
developer"DOT"android"DOT"com/sdk/index"DOT"html (replace "DOT" with . )
This is what I used to install the android sdk (with eclipse) and it worked flawlessly albeit a little slow
Id recommend this method theres a tutorial on the page ive linked along with the download files if ya wanna use this id uninstall whatever you've already downloaded
Good luck

if you go into your tools directory within your Android SDK, do you see the file "android.bat" that it is looking for? If so, simply run that bat file and see if that helps to get you any further with your installation.

[HOW TO] Install WhatsApp on any Tablet PC

Do you know that WhatsApp can be installed unofficially on most of major tablet PC's and setting it up is as easy as 1,2,3. All you need is a Tablet PC, working Internet Connection and a valid mobile number.
Follow the simple steps mentioned here: http://www.thatsallnow.com/installing-whatsapp-on-your-android-tablet-pc-01-16-2014/
P.S. Since this method is Universal for all Tablet PC's, that's why I posted here on General as I could not find a more suitable forum.
Hit Thanks if you liked my work

Download Instagram without GApps

Hi, I've been having problems downloading GApps on my PC so I can make it work with the device I'm using through Genymotion (devices: Nexus S Android 4.1 and Custom tablet Android 4.3). Basically, I just need to download Instagram for some project I'm trying to test. Is it possible to download Instagram without going through downloading GApps. I can't find a good download link from goo.im despite using download managers. Where can I find apk for it. Sorry because I'm not yet used to mobile device OSs though I was able to download the ARM tool and used it on both devices.
Thanks in advance for your help.

[Completed] pls help: adb remount fail (play services on avd)

hi,
i am trying to install google play services to my avd. even though i followed a tutorial (cannot post outside links; i used installing google play on the android emulator api 21 on flink.org) step by step, i cannot push the apk files to /system/priv-app/.
adb remount does not work; actually, now that i tried it again while typing this post, it did work. however, pushing the apks still produces an error:
failed to copy 'GmsCore.apk' to '/system/priv-app//GmsCore.apk': Read-only file system
or is there a better way to install google play services on a virtual android? i used to push apk files via adb, but this particular app i am testing on needs to be installed directly from google play or i will not work correctly.
thanks in advance for your help
