ionic cordova build android - build failed with an exception

I'm a beginner and in trouble with Ionic. I want to make an android app using Cordova for my homework. I tried to switch to Android Studio, uninstall-reinstall the Gradle, run the command with the --verbose flag and nothing works. When I type "ionic cordova build android" I got this error:
**FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.**

Have you installed SDKs and AVDs?
This link has an excellent walk thru
Could be u are using wrong java version.....maybe you didn't set up ENV path.....possibly (most likely based on error) you have not download API levels and accepted the licensing agreement which then also means you haven't install an AVD.
That guide should set you straight.

Help please

Found a solution, the licences I'm looking for are

to install those I need it to do
$ android update sdk --no-ui --filter extra-android-m2repository,extra-google-m2repository
And that worked for me

Unable to build Android using ionic

I am trying to setup Ionic framework for developing android apps on my mac but I am having some problems in building android apps.
I have followed following procedure for installing ionic :
Run: "sudo npm install -g cordova"
Run: "sudo npm install -g ionic"
Run: “android” then install the following packages
Tools: Andoird SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-tools, Android SDK Build-tools
Android 4.4.2 (API 19)
Extras: Android Support Library
My .bash file is like this :
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH
export PATH=${PATH}:~/Library/Android/sdk/tools:~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools
This is the error I am getting while building android app :
You have been opted out of telemetry. To change this, run: cordova telemetry on.

Please install Android target: "android-23".
Hint: Open the SDK manager by running: /Users/coderahul/Library/Android/sdk/tools/android
You will require:
1. "SDK Platform" for android-23
2. "Android SDK Platform-tools (latest)
3. "Android SDK Build-tools" (latest)

This happened to me just type this in your terminal "/Users/coderahul/Library/Android/sdk/tools/android" and proceed with the steps to download the sdk for android-23.
This happens because your device is using the higher version of OS than the sdk version

Build error when using Cordova google-analytics-plugin

I am trying to add https://github.com/nickdrewe/google-analytics-plugin to my cordova project. But the build failed. Here are what I tried:
Install google playservices 21 instead of 19. Edit plugin.xml to point to 21 but still don't work.
Remove google playservices completely and use framework instead https://github.com/nickdrewe/google-analytics-plugin/commit/cb8e78f17472ae2c8b4db613273764a7260b4e34 but still build error
I also tried android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter "extra-google-m2repository" from https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adt-dev/UXW0Hl0UVXk
The error I got:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

I am using Ionic 1.5.5 and Cordova Android 4.0.2
Any help?
I am open to alternative Google Analytics plugin but I found https://github.com/phonegap-build/GAPlugin causing Android app crashing upon start.

I just tried to reproduce your error - and there is none. I build a new project with the plugin you linked and also the console plugin. The build was totaly fine and successfull.
As far as i see you edited your gradle build settings for speeding up the gradle build. -Dorg.gradle.daemon=true... as far as i read through the documents this must be -org.gradle.daemon=true or is the D sth like an operator or a variable which has to be there?
What you can also try is to run the cmd as an administrator.
Cordova downgrade from 5.1.1 to 4.3.2 fixed the problem for many users.

what i can do ?

Once you installed the android sdk, configured ANDROID_HOME and updated the path, you have to run the androidcommand to actually download the sdk tools and android platform.
You don't need to download everything. You can uncheck the system images (keep one if you want to use the emulator), the samples, the sources of android, the docs and android apis older than API 22 (latest android cordova version 4 requires api 22).
Not sure if you still need to install ant with android cordova 4, as it seems they switched to graddle wich is installed automatically.

I had the same problem, and this is the solution for the problem referent to:
No installed build tools found. Please install the Android build tools
version 19.1.0 or higher.
1) You have to go to the android sdk tools folder, for example (in my case) I just wrote the command in my console: $ cd android-sdk-linux/tools
2) Inside this folder you have to write the command
$ ./android list sdk --all and after
$ ./android update sdk -u -a -t 20
And that's all! :)

This will install all the tools you need as well as the system images which are quite large, limit them using the --filter flag
android update sdk --no-ui --all
