I am trying to build an ionic project. I have set up environment for ionic and android in ubuntu. But don't know why the following error is showing on terminal ...
Error: Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable. Try setting setting it manually.
Failed to find 'android' command in your 'PATH'. Try update your 'PATH' to include path to valid SDK directory.
I have set up android home as followings ...
userPC:/codes/myApp$ export ANDROID_HOME=/opt/android-sdk-linux
userPC:/codes/myApp$ export ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS=/opt/android-sdk-linux/platform_tools
userPC:/codes/myApp$ export ANDROID_TOOLS=/opt/android-sdk-linux/tools
userPC:/codes/myApp$ PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME:$ANDROID_TOOLS:$ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS
my android-sdk-linux is in /opt/ itself. From terminal I can run android command. So, I think environment variable is not the main issue. While I am trying to build ionic project, it shows Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable. I am using Android SDK Build Tools 22 and ionic latest version.
Can anyone tell me how can I solve this issue? I have searches a lot but everywhere I found to setup android sdk and environment variable path correctly. But I already have set up all these things. Thanks!
I think you are doing everything right except for the bin part.Add ANDROID_HOME environment variable to path and point out the corresponding bin directory as:
1.export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/android/SDK
2.export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/bin
when you issue studio.sh command on the command line, it looks for the bin directory in the path which contain executables! studio.sh is the one in this case.
For more information,Read this
Hope this was helpful.
After long time on search. To make a final fix for this problem
Follow Theses incrustation and it will fix it Correctly
Delete your current installation of node & npm & ionic & cordova
Install nvm follow this install nvm ubuntu
Install node with nvm follow this install node via nvm
Install ionic and cordova
npm install -g cordova ionic
Never use root to install node ,npm ,ionic or cordova
Set your Android Home
export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/android/SDK
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/bin
After that its worked fine for my and ionic can see Android SDK home
When I run ionic build android command in root of ionic project, I am getting this error:

in /opt/android-sdk/build-tools folder i have:
android-5.1 folder that extract from:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/build-tools_r22-linux.zip
I fix this by downloading sdk package called platform-tools and buid-tools using sdkmanager. You can use sdkmanager.exe or if you are using SDK CLI, go to ~\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\bin and run this command:
sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms;android-26"
or
sdkmanager "build-tools;27.0.3"
or both
After that you should be able to run ionic cordova run android or ionic build android.
Note: globalize sdkmanager command by adding ~\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools and ~\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\bin to your environment variable.
For me running these three commands fix the issue on my Mac:
export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=~/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools
For ease of copying here's one-liner
export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk && export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools && export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools && export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=~/Library/Android/sdk
To add Permanently
Follow these steps:
Open the .bash_profile file in your home directory (for example, /Users/your-user-name/.bash_profile) in a text editor.
Add export PATH="The above exports here" to the last line of the file, where your-dir is the directory you want to add.
Save the .bash_profile or .zshrc file.
Restart your terminal. Or run source ~/.bash_profile or source ~/.zshrc depending on your terminal settings.
Adding to bash process for different systems
You are missing android SDK tools. Please try the following:
android list sdk --all
android update sdk -u -a -t <package no.>
Where <package no.> is 1,2,3,n and
-u (--no-ui) # Headless mode
-a (--all) # Includes all packages (also obsolete ones)
-t (--filter) # Filter by package index
as the error says 'No installed build tools found'
it means that
1 : It really really really did not found build tools
2 : To make him find build tools you need to define these paths correctly
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/vijay/Software/android-sdk-macosx
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/vijay/Software/android-sdk-macosx/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/vijay/Software/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools
3 : IMPORTANT IMPORTANT as soon as you set environmental variables you need to reload evnironmental variables.
//For ubuntu
$source .bashrc
//For macos
$source .bash_profile
4 : Then check in terminal
$printenv ANDROID_HOME
$printenv PATH
Note : if you did not find your changes in printenv then restart the pc and try again printenv PATH, printenv ANDROID_HOME .There is also command to reload environmental variables .
4 : then open terminal and write HALF TEXT '$and' and hit tab. On hitting tab you should see full '$android' name.this verifys all paths are correct
5 : write $android in terminal and hit enter
Please install the Android build tools version 19.1.0 or higher.
The following commands can update Android SDK on Ubuntu quickly and fix the above error:
android list sdk --all
android update sdk -u -a -t 19
android update sdk -u -a -t 20
I fix the error by changing the ANDROID_HOME to
C:\Users\Gebru\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk from wrong previous directory.
I know this doesn't look related, especially given the error message, but I fixed this by installing a newer version of the Android SDK Build tools.
2018
The "android" command is deprecated.
try
sdkmanager "build-tools;27.0.3"
This work for me, as #Fadhil said
In my case, the Enviroument Variable ANDROID_HOME was pointed to wrong (old) directory. I reallocated to correct one. In my case
ANDROID_HOME=F:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
For me, the problem was that ANDROID_HOME was pointing to an old Android SDK path. After installing Android Studio, I had to update ~/.bash_profile accordingly for MAC (El Capitan)
export ANDROID_HOME="/Users/corneliusparkin/Library/Android/sdk"
Remember to re-start terminal or run this command after updating ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
FOR WINDOW: I have faced this type of issue. But after exploring it solved in my case. I am using window 10. just follow few steps below:
download Android SKD Manager for windows. https://developer.android.com/studio at the
end of this page. It is zip file. after extracting it will show tools directory.
Go to drive C:\ create new folder 'android-sdk'. copy tools folder and past in
C:\android-sdk
open command prompt as Administrator. Go to cd " c:\android-sdk\tools\bin ".
sdkmanager will be show here. type
skdmanager, it will show like this
[=======================================] 100% Computing updates...
after that type "sdkmanager platform-tools" it will create platform-tools directory
in C:\android-sdk
Now set System environment variables: right click on PC select
properties. system settings will popup. click on > Environment Variables. Environment
Variables will popup.
At this window System variables as like this. C:\android-sdk\platform-tools and
C:\android-sdk\tools\bin
run command to build tools sdkmanager "build-tools;27.0.3"
Also make sure java path is defined. I hope it will solve problem.
Type android on your command line and install "Android SDK Build-tools"
I Search this problem for days.... I hope it will be usefull
FINAL SOLUTION:
(I assume that you have installed Oracle-JDK and ANDROID)
open /etc/environment with
sudo nano /etc/environment
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/home/shoniisra/Android/Sdk/tools:/home/shoniisra/Android/Sdk/platform-tools:/home/shoniisra/Android/Sdk/build-tools:/home/shoniisra/Android/Sdk:/home/shoniisra/android-studio/bin"
JAVA_HOME="/home/shoniisra/java/jdk1.8.0_231"
ANDROID_HOME="/home/shoniisra/Android/Sdk/build-tools/29.0.2"
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT="/home/shoniisra/Android/Sdk"
ANT_HOME="/home/shoniisra/ant/apache-ant-1.9.14"
Save and exit (CTRL+o CTRL+X)
Reload file source /etc/environment
If you recently installed Android you should accept some licences
cd ~/Android/Sdk/tools/bin/
Execute sdkmanager:
./sdkmanager --licenses
Then Accept all, and Finally generate your APK
cd {yourproyect}
sudo ionic cordova build android
I have solved this issue by following steps:
Go to cordova.gradle file
(platform/android/cordovaLib/cordova.gradle)
Search for getAndroidSdkDir() method
Now simply replace System.getenv("ANDROID_HOME") with your real Android SDK path
In build.gradle script it checks if build-tools version is lower than maxVersion from Gradle configuration.
So in my case, I had environment SDK vars set, but my version was higher than allowed.
def highestBuildToolsVersion = buildToolsDirContents
.collect { new Version(it) }
// Invalid inputs will be handled as 0.0.0
.findAll { it.isHigherThan('0.0.0') && it.isLowerThan(maxVersion) }
.max()
In my case the problem was that ANDROID_HOME was pointing to ~/Library/Android/ for some reason.
The correct path is ~/Library/Android/sdk
This problem I solved with the following detail, somehow the android SDK manage installed all the dependencies and necessary files, but forget this `templates` files where is found templates> gradle> wrapper. This set of files is missing.
Path in mac
/Users/giogio/Library/Android/sdk/tools/templates
I had the same problem. I tried all the solutions on this page, but what worked for me was installing the EXACT version of build-tools requested. In my case, I had a later version installed(33.0.0), but in order to make it work I had to download an older one 30.0.3.
This works for me! be careful with the new java versions because they cause error, check that you have everything installed and in your specific directory,
I did not use openJDK
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-jdk" \
&& export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH \
&& export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk \
&& export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools \
&& export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools \
&& export GRADLE_HOME=/usr/share/java/gradle/bin/gradle \
export PATH=$PATH:$GRADLE_HOME/bin
Linux 4.14.39-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 2 19:03:39 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I added <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="19" />
to my conf.xml and the build was successful.
The solution for this question is here
https://docops.ca.com/devtest-solutions/8-0-2/en/installing/setting-up-the-mobile-testing-environment/preinstallation-steps-for-mobile-testing/
Please follow this steps, and solve your problem.
The Android SDK package contains a component called compile tools. The mobile test requires at least version 19.0.1, 19.1.0 or 20.0.0.
If these versions are not installed with your ADT package, you may receive an error message when creating a mobile asset in the DevTest Workstation:
Mac IOS
Edit ~/.bash_profile by using vi or other shell editor
vi ~/.bash_profile
Add the following lines:
export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=${PATH}:~/Software/android-sdk-macosx/tools:~/Software/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools"
(save the file, and exit)
load those updated env variables to the current shell env:
. ~/.bash_profile
If from some reason you have an old version of the build tools, you can update them from the android development studio:
Configure --> SDK Manager --> select "Android SDK Build-Tools
Check the "Show Package details"
review the versions of this package, update if needed
Well Many people give their answer, some answer is same, some answer id different. I try many answer but they are did not work for me, of course I try from above answer also but did not solve my issue. And I don't know why but I have the same error even my issue solved by this ANSWER. I just want to write it might be helpful for someone.
I have tried all the above solution. None works.
Until I was linked to https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/ionic-v4-no-installed-build-tools-found/152150.
Apparently, you must run the command as root. Sudo is not enough. You need to change to root user before you can run all the commands.
Open Command Prompt Check for ANDROID_HOME path using SET ANDROID_HOME, if not set then set using below command.
SET ANDROID_HOME="C:\Users\VenkateshMogili\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk"
OR
open system environment variables and create new variable as
Variable Name: ANDROID_HOME
Variable Value: C:\Users\VenkateshMogili\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
and open cordova.gradle file (/platforms/android/CordovaLib/cordova.gradle) and search for getAndroidSdkDir() method and Replace the ANDROID_HOME path ("C:/Users/VenkateshMogili/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk") instead of System.getenv("ANDROID_HOME")
If license problem arises then type below command by opening the command prompt in C:\Users\VenkateshMogili\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin
sdkmanager "build-tools;27.0.3" //<-that will create build-tools folder and licenses folder.
It works for me.
Warning for developers using Virtual Machines
I spent a very long time trying to resolve this issue. I tried everything in this post and many more solutions on the web. However, after many failures and going through what everyone on the web was saying I still couldn't resolve the issue on my VM - which is a Windows 10 image on VMWare Workstation.
After reviewing all the solutions and descriptions of machines/operating systems people were developing on the glaring difference in my setup was I was developing in a VM.
Solution: I pulled all my code onto the host machine (Windows 10 OS), reinstalled all the dependencies, and sure as heck it all worked out first go around. After a lot of research I found some warnings that Android Studio has some known issues around installing properly in some VMs. So if you were like me & tried all solutions (many times over) and nothing worked, but you're in a VM, you may need to consider building on your host (or other physical machine)
This issue also occur if you do an upgrade to you cordova installation.
Check if your log error has something like:
Checking Java JDK and Android SDK versions
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=undefined (recommended setting) <-------------
ANDROID_HOME=/{path}/android-sdk-linux (DEPRECATED)
Using Android SDK: /usr/lib/android-sdk
Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)
In such case, just change ANDROID_HOME to ANDROID_SDK_ROOT in your ~/.bashrc
or similar config file.
Where before was:
export ANDROID_HOME="/{path}/android-sdk-linux"
Now is:
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT="/{path}/android-sdk-linux"
Don't forget source it: $ . ~/.bashrc after edition.
Check whether you have added android SDK paths to the environment file (.bash_profile). If you installed android studio with default path, then add the below lines to your environment file. In my case, I am using bash so I have updated the .bash_profile
export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=~/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_AVD_HOME=~/.android/avd
I wasted a day to resolve this issue and finally I got solution
-First I removed ionic cordova platform android
-Install ionic cordova platform android#8
That's it
create a ~/.bash_profile and ~/.zshrc file.
touch ~/.bash_profile;
touch ~/.zshrc;
edit and copy/paste this in your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc file
So, go to your file manager and show all hidden files by using Cmd+Shift+. or Cmd+>
i) Edit your .zshrc file
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/bookwarm/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=~/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_AVD_HOME=~/.android/avd
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk/tools
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk/tools/sdkmanager
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin
export ANDROID_NDK=/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
ii) Edit your .bash_profile file
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=~/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_AVD_HOME=~/.android/avd
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk/tools
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk/tools/sdkmanager
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin
export ANDROID_NDK=/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
Save your file with file->save like you would save any regular file, after that write this in your terminal
source ~/.bash_profile;
source ~/.zshrc;
Close you terminal and run your command now
UPDATE 1:
This was everything I did in the end:
sudo aptitude install -y python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install nodejs
sudo aptitude install npm
sudo npm install -g cordova
sudo npm install -g phonegap
phonegap create my-app

sudo aptitude install ant
cordova platform add android
android create avd --name my_and --target 1
phonegap run android
Was any of that not neccessary?
ORIGINAL QUESTION:

Anyone know why this is happening and how to resolve it?
I get the same issue with PhoneGap.
It's possible that the Android tools binaries are not in your path.
According to the PhoneGap docs (http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.9.0/guide_getting-started_android_index.md.html), you need to include the Android SDK's tools and platform-tools in your PATH environment variable.
export PATH=${PATH}:/Development/adt-bundle/sdk/platform-tools:/Development/adt-bundle/sdk/tools
where Development is the path you installed your SDK.
Run the "android" command from your adt\sdk\tools folder and install the latest Tools and SDK. Also make sure your PATH has the right variables.
For this you will need ANT to be installed , a JAVA JDK and an Android SDK installed
JAVA_HOME (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk)
ANT_HOME ({ant location}\apache\apache-ant)
ANDROID_HOME ({android sdk location}\android-sdk)
Add these to your PATH variable like %ANT_HOME%/bin;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
Close and re-open your cmd and run your command again.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and was having the same problem as you until a few minutes ago.
The two things I've noted that I had missed during installation:
The Android version should be 19 and you should be able to type 'android' at the console and see some output or see a window pop-up. Make sure that you add the path to the folder where android.jar is located to your PATH variable, and set ANDROID_HOME to that same path as well. Typically, you would do this in your .bashrc file or in /etc/environment If you edit either of these files, you'll need to either 'source ~/.bashrc' or reopen your terminal to force it to reload the file. Type 'android' to make sure its working.
I observed that the cordova setup script was attempting to write files into a subdirectory 'add-ons' of the Android SDK. That directory does not exist in the Android 19 distribution itself. Consequently, I created it manually and made it writeable by my user account.
ex: Android distribution path:
/opt/android/
The path that its trying to write to:
/opt/android/sdk/add-ons
Once I had done that I was able to get past the problem you've noted above.
It looks like the cordova andorid library file corrupted in your home directory.
Try to remove home//.cordova directory and do this again cordova platform add android in your cordova project.
Make sure you have sourced /platform-tools and /tools to PATH.
Android
The Android command-line tools are built upon shell scripts. You must have the Android SDK's tools and platform-tools folders in your PATH!
Create a project
Run the create command with the following parameters:
Path to your new Cordova Android project
Package name, following reverse-domain style convention
Main Activity name
$ /path/to/cordova-android/bin/create /path/to/my_new_cordova_project com.example.cordova_project_name CordovaProjectName
It looks like this error could also be caused by the absence of a compatible Android SDK version (at the moment 4.2).
I use cordova.
2days I have same problem"java,ant,android,cordova,command test is ok,
but run cordova platform add android show me Error: An error occurred while listing Android targets".
Now I fixit use:
"chmod 777 ant and android sdk place"
,then it will work.
I use ubuntu 14.04 32bit,
if the problem still exist please make sure that you have the right permissions try
sudo chmo-R 777 /home/your-user-name/.cordova/
Also make sure that you are NOT using sudo to add Android as a platform
This is incorrect in the default Cordova installation
sudo cordova platform add android
Just do
cordova platform add android
I've searched a lot for this, and what worked for me was setting the shell variable $ANDROID_HOME to the path of the sdk/ folder in my adt-bundle directory from android. Use export to do this:
export ANDROID_HOME="/Users/YOUR_USER/Developer/adt-bundle/sdk/"
but be sure to change the directory to match yours.
Good Luck!
Not sure if someone else had a problem with this, but when removed and added my platform again, I realized in my config.xml I had <icon src='...'> and the path inside the src was wrong.
Here was the error output I received when I added the platform again:cp: no such file or directory: C:\Users\{pathtofile}.png.
After I fixed the path, it worked fine.
It can be that your cordova installation have been corrupted try to remove your .cordova folder "rm -R ~/.cordova"
And "run cordova platform add android" again
I am trying to migrate my existing project from cordova 2.1 to the latest, 3.1 which can be installev vía command line,
I already have the Android SDK installed,
So:
sudo npm install -g cordova // All good
cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld // All good
cordova platform add android // Then it fires:
Checking Android requirements...
[Error: The command `android` failed. Make sure you have the latest Android SDK installed, and the `android` command (inside the tools/ folder) added to your path. Output: ]
So I installed Macports and tried:
sudo port install android
Which logs:

It's work cordova Android for MAC 1000000000%. I fought solution and now i'm working try this #Toni Michel Caubet. I will happy to share my Answer.
STEPS:
Open Your Terminal and followed by,
touch ~/.bash_profile
open ~/.bash_profile
PATH="/Users/System-Name/Documents/android-sdk-macosx/sdk/tools:/Development/android-sdk-macosx/sdk/platform-tools:$PATH" (This is Android SDK Location to stored in My system )
4.Save the file and quit the text editor.
5.Execute your .bash_profile to update your PATH:
source ~/.bash_profile
if you want to see your environment path:
7.In your terminal type: set
After you can see like
8.As far as your made it very correct. After your enter command like cordova platform add android. you get following error. because Java SDK doesn't too set environment PATH.
9.open ~/.bash_profile. Add JAVA_HOME value
10.You can see your environment like STEP 7 set. You should be able see:
11.Successfully created environment now you can create Android project with Cordova or PhoneGap
When you installed the Android SDK, it will come with a bunch of folders, like build-tools, platform-tools, tools, and some others. You need to add platform-tools and tools to your main $PATH environment variable.
See the docs here about how to add things to your PATH for whichever system you are on (Windows or Mac): http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.1.0/guide_platforms_android_index.md.html#Android%20Platform%20Guide
Here is how you would edit the $PATH on Windows:
Click on the Start menu in the lower-left corner of the desktop,
right-click on Computer, then click Properties.
Click Advanced System Settings in the column on the left.
In the resulting dialog box, press Environment Variables.
Select the PATH variable and press Edit.
Append the following to the PATH based on where you installed the
SDK, for example: ;C:\Development\adt-bundle\sdk\platform-tools;C:\Development\adt-bundle\sdk\tools
Save and close both dialogs.
To install the cordova command-line tool, follow these steps:
First of all go through the Cordova Document
For Cordova command-line tools to work, you need to include the SDK's tools and platform-tools directories in your PATH environment. On Mac, you can use a text editor to create or modify the ~/.bash_profile file, adding a line such as the following, depending on where the SDK installs:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Development/adt-bundle/sdk/platform-tools:/Development/adt-bundle/sdk/tools
Next Steps:
Download and install Node.js from Here. Following installation, you should be able to invoke node or npm on your command line.
Install the cordova utility. In Unix(Mac), prefixing the additional sudo command may be necessary to install development utilities in otherwise restricted directories:
For Mac $ sudo npm install -g cordova
once successful installation of cordova is done ,now you can create your application
across all the platforms.
Create the Cordova Application
Go to the directory where you maintain your source code, and run a command such as the following:
$cordova create hello com.example.hello CordovaDemo
hello is the directory where you want to create your application
com.example.hello is the package name
CordovaDemo is the name of the Application
Once Successful creation of your project, some file will be created inside the directory i.e hello
Add Platforms
All subsequent commands need to be run within the project's directory, or any subdirectories within its scope:
$ cd hello
Now you need to specify a set of target platforms, Supported OS for Mac
$ cordova platform add android
plz tell me if you are still having problem.
[Error: The command `android` failed. Make sure you have the latest Android SDK installed, and the `android` command (inside the tools/ folder) added to your path. Output: ]
You just need to install the Latest version of Android i.e 4.3
Go to SDK Manager and install the latest SDK Platform.
And try run the command again.
Hope this will help you.
Here it solved my issue:
into the terminal.
touch ~/.bash_profile (create a bash profile)
open ~/.bash_profile (opening a bash profile)
in your opened file, please type the following, Make sure that you have given the correct path, in case you find it difficult to find your directory in which your Android SDK is installed , search into your terminal with ls -l.
PATH="/Users/System-Name/Documents/android-sdk-macosx/sdk/tools:/Development/android-sdk-macosx/sdk/platform-tools:$PATH"
[Let me clarify first that, this is windows specific suggestion, answer]
For particular cordova version there corresponds particular android API
So,
First check out version of cordova with following command:
$ npm cordova -v
In my case cordova version was 1.4.28 , which corresponds to Android API 19
So the bottom line is don't waste time in downloading all "SDK Platforms"
instead just download corresponding Android API for concerned cordova version...
Hope this help....!!!
