This week I’ve been playing with the Android SDK using IntelliJ IDEA. One of the problems that I encountered when I was creating an Android project in IDEA was the error “cannot find any Android targets in this sdk.” After surfing the net for a bit, I found the solution to this problem here. To paraphrase a bit, the solution is to simply run tools/android, under android_sdk_YOUR_OS, to retrieve the targets, check the option that says “force https to be fetched using http” under settings. And finally, under “Available packages,” select the version of Android you want.
