For Linux there is even a bit better solution   Navigate to https   developer android com studio index html downloads  and download the command line tools zip file  bottom of the page  for linux  Extract them to your      Android Sdk  folder so you overrwrite extend your tools folder  Now everything works fine

User · Answer

This problem occurs when you dont have the gradle wrapper into your SDK tools   Like the previous responses said  you can update to last cordova-android version  it works   but if you want to keep working with cordova-cli 6 4 0 and cordova-android 6 0 0  just copy the folder from android studio ex    cd  Applications Android  Studio app Contents plugins android lib  cp -r templates   ANDROID HOME tools templates chmod  x  ANDROID HOME tools templates gradle wrapper gradlew   In my case  I am using the cordova-plugin-fcm and it was tested with old version of cordova-android  so I can not use cordova-android 2 x  not yet

There s no need to downgrade Android Tools  On Windows  Gradle moved from   C  Users you username AppData Local Android sdk tools   to   C  Program Files Android Android Studio plugins android lib templates gradle wrapper   So you just need to adjust your path so that it points to the right folder

If you have android studio installed within your system  then copy the templates folder from C  Program Files Android Android Studio plugins android lib templates Paste it in the folder C  Users  lt user-name gt  AppData Local Android sdk tools Run the command  ionic build android   All necessary jar files will be downloaded and apk file for the application will be generated   Note  Set environment variables to   C  Users  lt user-name gt  AppData Local Android sdk tools   Also set user-name to your current username

I just experienced the same problem  It may be an occlusion in the instructions regarding how to install  or upgrade  Android Studio with all the SDK Tools which both you and I missed or possibly a bug created by a new release of Studio which does not follow the same file conventions as the older versions  I lean towards the latter since many of the SO posts on this topic seems to point to an ANDROID PATH with a folder called android-sdk which does not appear in the latest  2 3 0 8  version  There appears to be a workaround though  which I just got to work on my machine  Here s what I did   Download tools r25 2 3-windows zip from Android Downloads   Extracted zip on desktop  Replaced C  Users username AppData Local Android sdk tools with extracted sub-folder tools   In project folder    cordova platforms remove android   cordova platforms add android   You may also need to force remove the node modules in android  Hopefully this helps

if you have this error when you ionic run android --device     codova - android update  npm install -g cordova cordova platform update android

User · Answer

None of the solutions worked for me as of today  My situation was that I got my Android studio updated  The most popular thing to replace the tools folder with the latest one wouldn t work for me  Infact is not required in some cases    npm update -g cordova did the trick for me    Then I removed the platform and added it again    ionic platform remove android  ionic platform add android   This works for me in Ionic  I am surecordova platform remove add android will do the same stuff  Not tested though   Working again

After cordova upgrade to 7 0 x  the gradle path has been changed as discussed above  To get it working before official fix comes out  just manually install the gradle and set it in your Environment     Go https   gradle org install download the Binary packages  Unzip it remember the path  eg   My one at  E  Gradle  Set the environment variables  like on Windows add E  Gradle bin   That s it
