Ionic2 - Android build failed

I was trying to build an Ionic2 app with Android platform on my Win 7 (32 bt) system.
I ran the ionic build android command in the CLI and the following error occurred :
...ionic build android

Starting a new Gradle Daemon for this build (subsequent builds will be faster).
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Unable to start the daemon process.
This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.
Please refer to the user guide chapter on the daemon at https://docs.gradle.org/2.14.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html
Please read the following process output to find out more:
-----------------------
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 2097152KB object heap
Then as suggested I read the 'https://docs.gradle.org/2.14.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html' and created the gradle.properties file with the following
org.gradle.daemon=true
The error still persists with the same result !!!
What is going wrong ?? Please help .

Found the solution after a hour long R&D.
Basically as per 'https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/' - As of cordova-android#4.0.0, Cordova for Android projects are built using Gradle. Earlier it was built using Apache Ant.
Now Gradle looks for latest Android SDK. When I removed the android platform and added again with ionic platform add android command - the CLI listed that the latest Android SDK ( in my case it was SDK 24 ) was not installed.
I installed the required SDK version using Android SDK Manager and subsequent add of Android Platform along with the cordova plugin smoothly installed without any error.
The CLI printed the following -
..ionic plugin add onesignal-cordova-plugin
Fetching plugin "onesignal-cordova-plugin" via npm

Try using cordova platform add https://github.com/apache/cordova-android
Ive had to start using this command ever since updating Ionic.

Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable. Failed to find 'android' command in your 'PATH'

I'm trying to build the default Hello World phonegap project for android on my ubuntu system, but I am confronted by errors at every step.
SHORT VERSION:
I cannot create a phonegap project without sudo (not quite true--see below).
After creating a phonegap project with sudo, I cannot build android without sudo.
When I type "sudo phonegap build android", I lose my path settings, resulting in an error.
I have attempted a fix for this last problem by including the line "alias sudo='sudo env PATH=$PATH'" in.bashrc, as suggested in sudo changes PATH - why?, but it doesn't work. I also added ANDROID_HOME and PATH lines to .bash_profile, with no success.
I think the 'android' command actually is in my path.
Here are the last lines of my .bashrc:
export PATH="$HOME/Android/tools:$PATH"
export PATH="$HOME/Android/platform-tools:$PATH"
export ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/Android:$PATH"
alias sudo='sudo env PATH=$PATH'
I also have the following in ~/.bash_profile:
export PATH="$HOME/Android/tools:$PATH"
export PATH="$HOME/Android/platform-tools:$PATH"
export ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/Android:$PATH"

Probably this is either a connection problem, or platform spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and platform name/version/URL.

This is documented in their JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10062
Check the ownership of the file using:
ls -al /home/gregory/.config/configstore/update-notifier-cordova.json
If it is root, you may want to try reinstalling cordova - otherwise use the workaround suggested by running:
chmod 744 /home/gregory/.config/configstore/update-notifier-cordova.json

check if it helps

Compile your project in https://build.phonegap.com/
There you have no problems with OS and can compile for all OS.
I use then for IOS compilation.

Solution:
Uninstall node v0.10.25
install node 0.12 or above
remove platform android (cordova platform rm android)
add platform android (cordova platform add android)
build android (cordova build android)
Done

Phonegap Command filed with exit code 8 - Ubuntu

I'm trying to do my first android app in javascript with [phonegap][1] (cordova).
But when I put "phonegap run android" it exits with error 8, this is the code, here is the pic: http://i.stack.imgur.com/qofsZ.png (can't post screen because of reputation):

I've tried to follow these instructions: stackoverflow.com/questions/20323787/cordova-platform-add-android-not-working-while-listing-android-targets/21142421#21142421 and stackoverflow.com/questions/24380283/phonegap-run-android-create-command-failed-with-exit-code-8-linux, but again it doesn't work.
This is the bashrc (http://i.stack.imgur.com/mdLDY.png), I've put the code at the top:
export ANDROID_HOME="/media/giulio/Secondo\ Disco/Development/android-sdk-linux/tools"
export ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS="/media/giulio/Secondo\ Disco/Development/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools"
export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME:$ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS:$PATH"
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/share/ant/bin"
~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
...etc
I've already installed android packages, ant and everything necessary.
You're my last chance! D:

Export the two variables:
ANDROID_HOME and JAVA_HOME
And, in addition, put android platform-tools on the PATH, works for me.
In my case, it was something like this:
export ANDROID_HOME=/home/YOURUSER/sw/android/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20131030/sdk/
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/
