Can not downgrade the Android API version

Question

My question is related to this answer.

I tried installing the previous versions of Android using

android

in my cmd on Windows, checked the previous versions of Android and pressed the button.

But even after that, I only get the choice to use the latest version of the Android API.

what you are looking at in your screenshot are tools, not the actual api. scroll lower. — njzk2, Jul 25 '16 at 21:53

Press the "SDK Manager" button on the toolbar, then install Android API 5.1 for example.

Only installing the build tools is not enough, you need to install the other versions of the SDK, in the folders below the build tools
