Try to update your android platform by
C:\Users\GINOM HANGSHING\hello>cordova platform update android --save

Add System variable, Path. Add "\tools" directory (in addition of "\platform-tools") of your Android SDK folder. There "android.bat" is located.
Restart any open terminals.
How to check Android SDK folder: Android SDK location
If you do not find a \tools folder in your Android SDK folder, you can either try reinstalling your Android SDK or downloading and extracting the tools without the IDE from the links below (Be sure to have read and agreed with the terms of service before downloading any of the command line tools)
Windows no installer: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-windows-4333796.zip
MacOSX: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-darwin-4333796.zip
Linux: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip

This is how I solved the issue on my machine.
(Deepin 20 community)
After updating my android platform by running the following commands:
cordova platform rm android
and
cordova platform add android
I configured my environment variables and path as follows:
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT="path-to-android-studio/Sdk"
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_301/"
export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools"
export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools"
export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools/bin"
export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/emulator"
That solved the problem

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

I'm trying to build a default example app on Linux/Ubuntu 14.04 for Android.
I get a standard error message when doing sudo ionic build android:
Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable. Try setting setting it manually.
(see full log down below)
But if I do
echo $ANDROID_HOME && echo $JAVA_HOME && echo $ANT_HOME
/home/user3123726/Android/Sdk
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
/usr/bin/ant
And command android and cordova are also available.
Android SDK is installed with all platform targets currently available (plus Android SDK Tools,Platform-Tools and Build tools)
npm 3.3.9 and Node 4.2.2 is installed
Cordova 5.3.3 was installed via npm
Ionic 1.7.7 was installed via npm
Apache Ant 1.9.3
ANDROID_HOME also defined on .bashrc:
export ANDROID_HOME=/home/user3123726/Android/Sdk
export PATH=${PATH}:/home/user3123726/Android/Sdk/platform-tools:/home/user3123726/Android/Sdk/tools
I have no idea what is the reason that the build process fails. Any help is appreciated - thanks!

I am using Ubuntu 14.04. How to solve this issue and build cordova apps?

This error occurs, because of you didn't set your android sdk path correctly.
First, find where the android-sdk folder located in your computer. Inside the android-sdk folder, there is a folder called 'platform-tools'. So you can identify android-sdk folder correctly. Then get the path to the android-sdk folder. Now open the terminal and enter following command,
export ANDROID_HOME="your android-sdk path"
Now run the project.

you have probably used "sudo" for adding android platform.. a quick solution for this problem is:
Restore the right folder permission to all the folder/subfolder of the platforms folder
Delete the android platform with sudo cordova platform remove android
Add the android platform with cordova platform add android DON'T USE THE SUDO! If there are errors without the sudo SO that's the problem! NEVER use the sudo thing or the project will have issue like this!
if you still have a problem then you may have installed cordova using sudo, also there is a solution for it:
first we have to set up npm for global installation so we can use it without sudo, the preferred way of enabling npm to install packages globally without breaking out of $HOME is to set a local node prefix. This is as easy as running:
echo prefix = ~/.node >> ~/.npmrc
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/.node/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
then Running:
npm install -g cordova
it may results in:
Error: EACCES, permission denied '/home/yourusername/.config/configstore/update-notifier-cordova.json'
to fix it:
sudo chown yourusername:yourusername /home/yourusername/.config/configstore/update-notifier-cordova.json
After that, you can happily run npm install -g cordova without sudo, without running into permission conflicts and if something is completely broken and you want to start from scratch, all you need to do is remove your ~/.node directory.
Hope this help!
you can also look at these two links: source 1&2

Run following command in terminal :
export
PATH=${PATH}:/Users/Document/Android-sdk/tools:/Users/Documents/Android-sdk/platform-tools

You may also get this Error
Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/home/yourusername/.cordova/lib/npm_cache/cordova-android/5.1.1/package/.npmignore'
to fix it use this command
sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername /home/{username}/.cordova/lib/npm_cache/cordova-android/5.1.1/package

An error occured during creation of android sub-project

I installed cordova e phonegap via npm install -g cordova and npm install -g phonegap respectively. Then i created a HelloWorld application via cordova create HelloWorld mynamespace.helloworld HelloWorld. It worked fine! Then i changed my working directory to HelloWorld and i tried to build the app for android via cordova platform add android -d but it didn't work. here is the output:

I've googled and have found some issues with whitespaces but my project is in the C:\Dev\HelloWorld path and my android sdk is in the PATH so that when i type adb at the windows prompt i get the help information of the command as well Java and Ant. Furthermore, i have ANT_HOME, JAVA_HOME and ANDROID_HOME set. I also deleted the ** .cordova ** folder inside my %HOMEPATH% directory and entered the command again but the error is still there.
What might be wrong?

XCOPY needs to be defined and found on your path as it is used by the internal node.js scripts to move things around.
You probably already have xcopy.exe somewhere on your machine. You should be able to add %SystemRoot%\System32 to your PATH and it will work. Or you can open up a terminal and type where xcopy to see the actual path to your xcopy.exe.
I guess having XCOPY on the path is a requirement for setting up and installing Android, but it'd be nice if Cordova checked to make sure you have XCOPY somewhere...

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
