Issues

Failed to fetch URL https
-------------------------

When starting the *Android SDK and AVD Manager*, the *Refresh Sources* window
displays the following error message:

::

  Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml,
  reason: HTTPS SSL error. You might want to force download through HTTP in the settings.

To solve this issue, *Close* the *Refresh Sources* window, *Cancel* the *Choose
Packages to Install* window and click *Settings* in the *Android SDK Manager*
window.  Tick the checkbox:
``Force https://... sources to be fetched using http://``.
Click *Save & Apply*.  Click *Available Packages* followed by *Refresh*.  You
should now find the available packages in the *Sites, Packages and Archives*
list.
