After I downloaded Xamarin I first had this problem:
Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
After reading this post, java Lang UnsupportedClassVersion Error in Xamarin Studio, I installed JDK 1.8.0_101 (Windows, 32-bit) and that problem no longer appears.
However, I still can't build my first app (I choose "New Project" -> "Android" -> "Blank App".
I deleted "Android SDK Build-tools" 24.0 and installed 24.0.1 (as recommended from the post)
Xamarin options in Visual Studio:
Output using "Build":

Output using "Xamarin Diagnostics":
[I:]: Tracking android devices started
[D:]: TrackDeviceTask got:
[I:]: Got new device list from adb with 0 devices

[D:]: avd watcher android path: 'C:\Users\Jefecito\AppData\Local\Android\ANDROI~1\tools\android.bat'

I can deploy to two "devices" but none of them works:
- Android_Accelerated_x86 (Android 6.0 API 23)
- Android_ARmv7a (Android 6.0 API 23)
I have no idea why I can't deploy a blank app in Xamarin. Any help is highly appreciated.
