Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable. Try setting setting it manually

I am trying to build an ionic project. I have set up environment for ionic and android in ubuntu. But don't know why the following error is showing on terminal ...
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.
I have set up android home as followings ...
userPC:/codes/myApp$ export ANDROID_HOME=/opt/android-sdk-linux
userPC:/codes/myApp$ export ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS=/opt/android-sdk-linux/platform_tools
userPC:/codes/myApp$ export ANDROID_TOOLS=/opt/android-sdk-linux/tools
userPC:/codes/myApp$ PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME:$ANDROID_TOOLS:$ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS
my android-sdk-linux is in /opt/ itself. From terminal I can run android command. So, I think environment variable is not the main issue. While I am trying to build ionic project, it shows Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable. I am using Android SDK Build Tools 22 and ionic latest version.
Can anyone tell me how can I solve this issue? I have searches a lot but everywhere I found to setup android sdk and environment variable path correctly. But I already have set up all these things. Thanks!

I think you are doing everything right except for the bin part.Add ANDROID_HOME environment variable to path and point out the corresponding bin directory as:
1.export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/android/SDK
2.export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/bin
when you issue studio.sh command on the command line, it looks for the bin directory in the path which contain executables! studio.sh is the one in this case.
For more information,Read this
Hope this was helpful.

After long time on search. To make a final fix for this problem
Follow Theses incrustation and it will fix it Correctly
Delete your current installation of node & npm & ionic & cordova
Install nvm follow this install nvm ubuntu
Install node with nvm follow this install node via nvm
Install ionic and cordova
npm install -g cordova ionic
Never use root to install node ,npm ,ionic or cordova
Set your Android Home
export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/android/SDK
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/bin
After that its worked fine for my and ionic can see Android SDK home

Cordova error while adding android in mac

I'm working on a macbook and developing with cordova. Now, I want to create an Android apk, but, when I type cordova platform add android I get this:
Error: The command "android" failed. Make sure you have the latest Android SDK installed, and the "android" command (inside the tools/ folder) is added to your path.
Ok, this message should be very clear about what to do next, but don't know what to do. When I search I keep getting how to solve this in Windows and can't follow steps.
What (and how) should I do?
Thanks
EDIT:
I've already installed Android SDK when trying to compile apk.
More info:
As I couldn't install ANT, I uninstalled it: brew uninstall ant. But when brew install antagain I got:
$ brew install ant
==> Downloading http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.9.3-bin.tar.gz
==> Best Mirror http://apache.rediris.es/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.9.3-bin.tar.gz
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
Error: Failed to download resource "ant"
Download failed: http://apache.rediris.es/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.9.3-bin.tar.gz

Some things to make sure you have completed before starting w/ Android:
Make sure ANT is installed:
Try ant --version, if command not found you need to install ANT.
The easiest way I have found is to use Homebrew. If you do not have homebrew installed, get it here
Once installed run
homebrew update
homebrew install ant
Unpack Android SDK:
Download and unpack the SDK package, place it in an easy to find location.
Then add the tools and platform-tools paths to your global PATH, like this:
vi ~/.bash_profile
add this line:
export PATH=/path/to/android/sdk/tools:/path/to/adnroid/sdk/platform-tools:$PATH
Exit the terminal and re open the terminal.
Now you should be able to run cordova platform add android in your project folder.

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

Cordova and setting Android using command line

I am trying to migrate my existing project from cordova 2.1 to the latest, 3.1 which can be installev vía command line,
I already have the Android SDK installed,
So:
sudo npm install -g cordova // All good
cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld // All good
cordova platform add android // Then it fires:
Checking Android requirements...
[Error: The command `android` failed. Make sure you have the latest Android SDK installed, and the `android` command (inside the tools/ folder) added to your path. Output: ]
So I installed Macports and tried:
sudo port install android
Which logs:
Warning: All compilers are either blacklisted or unavailable; defaulting to first fallback option
Warning: Xcode does not appear to be installed; most ports will likely fail to build.
---> Cleaning android
---> Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0%
---> No broken files found.
Any idea what am I missing here?

It's work cordova Android for MAC 1000000000%. I fought solution and now i'm working try this #Toni Michel Caubet. I will happy to share my Answer.
STEPS:
Open Your Terminal and followed by,
touch ~/.bash_profile
open ~/.bash_profile
PATH="/Users/System-Name/Documents/android-sdk-macosx/sdk/tools:/Development/android-sdk-macosx/sdk/platform-tools:$PATH" (This is Android SDK Location to stored in My system )
4.Save the file and quit the text editor.
5.Execute your .bash_profile to update your PATH:
source ~/.bash_profile
if you want to see your environment path:
7.In your terminal type: set
After you can see like
8.As far as your made it very correct. After your enter command like cordova platform add android. you get following error. because Java SDK doesn't too set environment PATH.
9.open ~/.bash_profile. Add JAVA_HOME value
10.You can see your environment like STEP 7 set. You should be able see:
11.Successfully created environment now you can create Android project with Cordova or PhoneGap

When you installed the Android SDK, it will come with a bunch of folders, like build-tools, platform-tools, tools, and some others. You need to add platform-tools and tools to your main $PATH environment variable.
See the docs here about how to add things to your PATH for whichever system you are on (Windows or Mac): http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.1.0/guide_platforms_android_index.md.html#Android%20Platform%20Guide
Here is how you would edit the $PATH on Windows:
Click on the Start menu in the lower-left corner of the desktop,
right-click on Computer, then click Properties.
Click Advanced System Settings in the column on the left.
In the resulting dialog box, press Environment Variables.
Select the PATH variable and press Edit.
Append the following to the PATH based on where you installed the
SDK, for example: ;C:\Development\adt-bundle\sdk\platform-tools;C:\Development\adt-bundle\sdk\tools
Save and close both dialogs.

To install the cordova command-line tool, follow these steps:
First of all go through the Cordova Document
For Cordova command-line tools to work, you need to include the SDK's tools and platform-tools directories in your PATH environment. On Mac, you can use a text editor to create or modify the ~/.bash_profile file, adding a line such as the following, depending on where the SDK installs:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Development/adt-bundle/sdk/platform-tools:/Development/adt-bundle/sdk/tools
Next Steps:
Download and install Node.js from Here. Following installation, you should be able to invoke node or npm on your command line.
Install the cordova utility. In Unix(Mac), prefixing the additional sudo command may be necessary to install development utilities in otherwise restricted directories:
For Mac $ sudo npm install -g cordova
once successful installation of cordova is done ,now you can create your application
across all the platforms.
Create the Cordova Application
Go to the directory where you maintain your source code, and run a command such as the following:
$cordova create hello com.example.hello CordovaDemo
hello is the directory where you want to create your application
com.example.hello is the package name
CordovaDemo is the name of the Application
Once Successful creation of your project, some file will be created inside the directory i.e hello
Add Platforms
All subsequent commands need to be run within the project's directory, or any subdirectories within its scope:
$ cd hello
Now you need to specify a set of target platforms, Supported OS for Mac
$ cordova platform add android
plz tell me if you are still having problem.
[Error: The command `android` failed. Make sure you have the latest Android SDK installed, and the `android` command (inside the tools/ folder) added to your path. Output: ]
You just need to install the Latest version of Android i.e 4.3
Go to SDK Manager and install the latest SDK Platform.
And try run the command again.
Hope this will help you.

Here it solved my issue:
into the terminal.
touch ~/.bash_profile (create a bash profile)
open ~/.bash_profile (opening a bash profile)
in your opened file, please type the following, Make sure that you have given the correct path, in case you find it difficult to find your directory in which your Android SDK is installed , search into your terminal with ls -l.
PATH="/Users/System-Name/Documents/android-sdk-macosx/sdk/tools:/Development/android-sdk-macosx/sdk/platform-tools:$PATH"

[Let me clarify first that, this is windows specific suggestion, answer]
For particular cordova version there corresponds particular android API
So,
First check out version of cordova with following command:
$ npm cordova -v
In my case cordova version was 1.4.28 , which corresponds to Android API 19
So the bottom line is don't waste time in downloading all "SDK Platforms"
instead just download corresponding Android API for concerned cordova version...
Hope this help....!!!
