Xamarin forces me to download Android SDK and NDK
Solution 1
I finally managed to get The installer detect my sdk location. Here's what I did:
Install Xamarin Studio Alone (https://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads)
Change your SDK , NDK , JDK Locations in Xamarin Studio settings and close
Download the Universal Installer and start
It will automatically detect that Xamarin Studio installed and will use its settings.
Install other dependencies
Start visual studio and enjoy !
The Xamarin Team really need to add the possibilty to select your SDK/NDK/JDK locations at INSTALLATION TIME
Solution 2
According to the Xamarin docs you can configure where it looks for the SDKs: http://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/getting_started/installation/windows/manual_installation/#Xamarin_Studio

I have my Android SDK and NDK installed on my computer (On custom locations) . I am trying to install xamarin on my Windows environment but the installer wants to force me to install SDK and NDK . It looks like it cannot find by installations folder. Is there a solution to specify when my SDK and NDK are installed ?
Thanks.

Yar almost 8 yearssurprisingly this is still and issue on Mac and installing Xamarin Studion alone isn't an option
