I found the problem here. Nothing to do with vs-android. Apparently with Build 
Tools 19.0.0, all API levels must match which I hadn't been paying attention to 
since this never affected any of my Eclipse projects (not entirely sure why 
that is).

   But I don't know how to solved this problem, Which API levels I need change to match it?How to set it?Can anyone give more information ? thanks!

But change "target=android-8" to "target=android-19" in project.properties, I 
fix this issue. But I don't know How to keep target to "android-8" and avoid 
this problem.

Hi. I have followed the procedure mention in installation guide. But still I am 
getting Error MSB6006: "C:\apache-ant-1.9.2\bin\ant.bat" exited with code 
1.  C:\Program 
Files\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\Android\Microsoft.Cpp.Android.Targets
. I tried every possible solution. But still not able to build it. I am using 
VS 2010
