At 7:36 it's shown that I have to type:cordova platform add android
I did it but I'm getting this:

1) Add the environment variables, ANDROID_HOME and JAVA_HOME ( giving the path of the folder Android SDK and the one of JDK in the value).

It will fix your error successfully.

Cordova - android error when building

This is my first experience in cordova. I created the helloworld project and installed the android platform correctly. When I tried to build the project by cordova build android, it shows this error message.
Running command: /home/menaka/hello/platforms/android/cordova/build
[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/menaka/hello/platforms/android/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2

But I have successfully set the ANDROID_HOME variable and PATH.

So, what would be the reason for this?

Cordova build issue in ubuntu

I was following the tutorials # http://www.gaggl.com/2014/04/apache-cordova-development-environment-install-on-ubuntu/
Cordova build is failing with message:
:~/projects/Hello$ sudo cordova build
Running command: /home/skn/projects/Hello/platforms/android/cordova/build
[Error: ANDROID_HOME is not set and "android" command not in your PATH. You must fulfill at least one of these conditions.]

I have included the android in the path variable also.
skn#bangre:~/projects/Hello$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/bin/java:/usr/bin/ant:.:/home/skn/android-sdk-linux/tools:/home/skn/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools
From screenshot below you can see the sdk is installed
Also I have the following check which is passing.
skn#bangre:~/.cordova/lib/npm_cache/cordova-android/3.7.1/package/bin$ ./android_sdk_version
21
skn#bangre:~/.cordova/lib/npm_cache/cordova-android/3.7.1/package/bin$ ./check_reqs
Looks like your environment fully supports cordova-android development!
Please help me point out the issue.

yes turns out the cordova node.js scripts assumes the android sdk directory name as 'android-sdk' , for ubuntu when we unzip we get 'android-linux-sdk'

This looks path settings issue and is unable to find path to sdk & ant tools.
Currently I am on Windows and see how I've set paths on Windows, so you check and set yours accordingly on Ubuntu, hope will help you.

How to fix issue in appium using Ubuntu

I have worked on automation tool(Appium) in android using Ubuntu PC.I have written test case and run using TestNG in eclipse.Whenever I have run test case I have got the error i.e.
Failed to start an Appium session, err was: Error: zipAlignApk failed. Error: Command failed: /bin/sh: 1: -f: not found
info: Error: zipAlignApk failed. Error: Command failed: /bin/sh: 1: -f: not found

I am also converting build to zipAlign and using this command
zipalign -f -v 4 "/home/android/Desktop/app.apk" "/home/android/Desktop/app1.apk"
Please suggest me how to fix this issue

Seems like this is related to your zipAlignApk install location. You might just need to make a symlink in your /bin/sh directory. Don't think this is related to appium

It would seem that the command you are using is -f, not zipalign as you intended. The error message shows that your toolchain (specifically on line 461 of adb.js) ran a shell script/command. The shell (/bin/sh) started and tried to locate the executable it was told to run: -f. It could not find an executable file named -f in its $PATH, so it failed.
Since -f is supposed to be the first argument you pass to zipalign I would suspect that however it is that you put that command in your tools is incorrect and the command itself is missing when the shell is invoked.
