Meteor 1.2 Failed to find ANDROID_HOME

Problem: Meteor cannot find my Android SDK when I try to meteor add-platform android on Linux Mint.
I've set my PATH variable: (echo $PATH)
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/home/jimmy/Android/Sdk/tools:/home/jimmy/Android/Sdk/platform-tools
I've got my ANDROID_HOME variable: (echo $ANDROID_HOME)
/home/jimmy/Android/Sdk
But still, when I run sudo meteor add-platform android --verbose I get:
Adding platform Android to Cordova project
% Adding android project...
android: added platform
Checking Cordova requirements for platform Android
Your system does not yet seem to fulfill all requirements to build apps for
Android.
Please follow the installation instructions here:
https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Mobile-Development-Install:-Android-on-Linux
Status of the requirements:
✓ Java JDK
✗ Android SDK: 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.
✗ Android target: Android SDK not found. Make sure that it is installed. If it
is not at the default location, set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable.
✗ Gradle: Could not find gradle wrapper within Android SDK. Could not find
Android SDK directory.
Might need to install Android SDK or set up 'ANDROID_HOME' env variable.

Okay, so I figured it out? (I guess)
So, I had already had my PATH and ANDROID_HOME set and everything, I could do echo $PATH and echo $ANDROID_HOME and it would print fine; but when I would run the different commands, it wouldn't work.
however, when I run sudo -s and then the commands, it works fine.
Cheers

ANDROID_HOME must be set to Android/Sdk folder. In my case (Ubuntu) it is:
export ANDROID_HOME="/home/***<user name>***/Android/Sdk"
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
Put this lines at the end of ~/.profile:
$ gedit ~/.profile
Then $ source ~/.profile

I had the same issue (and now I am stuck to Android target), but to solve Android SDK,
go to Android studio and ensure you remove everything from Android 6,
then that you have Android 5.1.1 installed (with v22 of the platform),
restart your console (I had to restart the laptop)
and normally it doesnt appear again (btw you dont need to use sudo normally)

It's possible that since you're using SUDO - that the PATH / ANDROID_HOME are not present in the root user's session. So try either:
sudo -s
export PATH=...
export ANDROID_HOME=...
meteor ...
or avoid using sudo.

Building Ionic app on UBUNTU for Android fails with exit code 2: Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME'

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 version and im trying to work with ionic.
The error comes when I try to:
$ ionic start todo blank
$ cd todo
$ sudo ionic platform add android
$ sudo ionic build android
And I get the following error:
[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.]
ERROR building one of the platforms: Error: /home/kelvin/Desktop/todo/platforms/android/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2

Error: /home/kelvin/Desktop/todo/platforms/android/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2
I know there is alot of sites with a answer to this question, but none of them gave me a fix. Or maybe they did, but I didnt understand it. I tried on this site building-ionic-app, but that didnt work either.
I followed this tutorial by Nic Raboy, and its still not working.
Install Android, Cordova, and Ionic Framework in Ubuntu.
So let me explain what I did and maybe that is helpfull to fix my problem:
I started with this guide: Ionic Framework Guide
To install Cordova, make sure you have Node.js installed, then run
Install Node.js
$ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
$ node -v
v5.0.0
Install Cordova
$ sudo npm install -g cordova
Follow the Cordova platform guides for Android and iOS to make sure you have everything needed for development on those platforms.
Follow the Cordova platform guides for Android
I followed this guilde:
Complete installing guide for android SDK / ADT Bund on Ubuntu
My computer is 64-bit and since im using 14.04.
Step 2: install libgl1-mesa-dev:i386 package.
$ sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev:i386
Step 3: Install openjdk-6-jdk or better, openjdk-7-jdk
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
Step 4: Download the Android SDK or the ADT Bundle from here and unzip it to wherever you want.
Then I follow step 4 on techtach Complete Guide
$ wget http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r20-linux.tgz
$ wget http://dl.google.com/android/adt/22.6.2/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140321.zip
Then I unzipped the adt-bundle and copied the folders from SDK -> /home/kelvin/android-sdk-linux/
The folders are: build-tools,extras,platforms,platform-tools,system-images,tools.
Then I executed the following command to install latest android updates
$cd ~/android-sdk-linux/tools
$sudo ./android
And installed
Android SDK Tools (24.0.2)
Android SDK Platform-tools (20)
ANDROID SDK Build-tools (19.0.3)
SDK Platform
ARM EABI V7a System Image
Android Support Library
And then open bashrc
$gedit ~/.bashrc
And added the following lines.
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools
export ANDROID_HOME=~/android-sdk-linux/tools
Checking if it is right:
$ANDROID_HOME
bash: /home/kelvin/android-sdk-linux/tools: Is a directory
Create the project & Configure Platforms
$ ionic start todo blank
$ cd todo
$ sudo ionic platform add android
$ sudo ionic build android
And I get the following error:
[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.]
ERROR building one of the platforms: Error: /home/kelvin/Desktop/todo/platforms/android/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2
You may not have the required environment or OS to build this project
Error: /home/kelvin/Desktop/todo/platforms/android/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2
And now im kinda lost. I found a forum where they have the same problem: ANDROID_HOME is not set... and one of the guys suggested.
I finally solved it. It was on my users path but not the root users path. I have to run these commands as a root user. I had to edit my root users .bash_profile file.
and one of the others tells how:
In Ubuntu, do all the commands also root
sudo su
gedit ~/.bash_profile
export ANDROID_HOME=/root/Android/Sdk
export PATH=${PATH}:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
But a third guy said this is a bad idea, so I didnt do it.
I can run the following command:
$ionic serve
And it runs in the browser, but I cant run for android.

I just read your question and it seems you followed the correct way.I faced the same situation during installation process.
The proper set up an Ubuntu machine for Ionic Framework Android development has many steps.Now there are a ton of options to handle this task, but not many bare bones solutions. Most solutions on the internet explain how to use an IDE, or fail to elaborate a complete installation.
After a research,I have found a nice tutorial by Nic Raboy.I followed this tutorial and everything is fine now.
Install Android, Cordova, and Ionic Framework in Ubuntu

Does not recognize android command in path

I'm triying to build my first cordova project, when I'm inside the project folder i tip:
sudo cordova build android
and I get the following error:
[Error: ANDROID_HOME is not set and "android" command not in your PATH. You must fulfill at least one of these conditions.]
ERROR building one of the platforms: Error: /home/veritopsecret/hello/platforms/android/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2
You may not have the required environment or OS to build this project
when I do echo $PATH I get:
veritopsecret#veritopsecret-SATELLITE-PRO-C50-A-1HQ:~/hello$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/home/veritopsecret/Escriptori/android-sdk-linux/tools:/home/veritopsecret/Escriptori/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools
I have also modified .profile file, but it stills say that it hasn't android command in the PATH. However, if I just write android, it opens the android sdk manager. Help please!!

As I re-read your question, I see you run sudo cordova build android
I think the issue you have is that you define ANDROID_HOME and add the android tools to the path of your user but then you use sudo to run the build.
sudo runs with elevated privileges using a user which is not your user profile that you are logged with, so the path and ANDROID_HOME are not set. (maybe try sudo echo $PATH to be sure of that).
So if you really wanted to use sudo to build, you would need either to define the vars for the sudo user or use instead sudo -E (see this page for more details : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sudo#Environment_variables)
But actually, you should be using sudo only when installing cordova, not when using the CLI.
So, just run cordova build android and everything should be fine.

Ionic build android showig error no ANDROID_HOME

I have set ANDROID_HOME in ~/.profile.
echo $ANDROID_HOME also points to the sdk. But on executing ionic platform add android it returns an error no ANDROID_HOME or android in path.
Someone please.

try sudo ANDROID_HOME=[YOUR ANDROID HOME] ionic build android
sometimes your ~/.profile does not get executed when building as someone else

PhoneGap/Cordova Android Development

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
cd my-app
export PATH=${PATH}:/home/oshirowanen/Downloads/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20131030/sdk/platform-tools:/home/oshirowanen/Downloads/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20131030/sdk/tools
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:
On my Ubuntu 12.04 computer, I've just installed node.js with npm and cordova:
$ node -v
v0.10.23
$ npm -v
1.3.17
$ cordova -v
3.3.0-0.1.1
When I try to add android:
$ cordova platform add android
I get the following output:

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
