I experienced same issue on MAC catalina 10 15 what you add in  bash profile is not recognised when you echo it on terminal  it is stored temporarily  It is recommended to use  zprofile for permanent and add all environment variables in it After trying for 5hours i found out this solution  Hope it will be useful for someone   vi  zprofile  insert press i   export ANDROID HOME  Users mypc Library Android sdk export PATH  ANDROID HOME platform-tools   PATH   after adding environment variables press esc then enter  wq  try echo  ANDROID HOME in new tab it will not be empty  path will be  printed

You may want to confirm that your development environment has been set correctly   Quoting from spring io      Set up the Android development environment      Before you can build Android applications  you must install the   Android SDK  Installing the Android SDK also installs the AVD Manager    a graphical user interface for creating and managing Android Virtual   Devices  AVDs           From the Android web site  download the   correct version of the Android SDK for your operating system    Unzip the archive to a location of your choosing  For example  on Linux or Mac  you can place it in the root of your user directory  See   the Android   Developers   web site for additional installation details    Configure the ANDROID HOME environment variable based on the location of the Android SDK  Additionally  consider adding   ANDROID HOME tools  and ANDROID HOME platform-tools to your PATH          Mac OS X  export ANDROID HOME   lt installation location gt  android-sdk-macosx export PATH   PATH   ANDROID HOME tools  ANDROID HOME platform-tools       Linux  export ANDROID HOME   lt installation location gt  android-sdk-linux export PATH   PATH   ANDROID HOME tools  ANDROID HOME platform-tools       Windows  set ANDROID HOME C   lt installation location gt  android-sdk-windows set PATH  PATH   ANDROID HOME  tools  ANDROID HOME  platform-tools       The Android SDK download does not include specific Android platforms    To run the code in this guide  you need to download and install the   latest SDK platform  You do this by using the Android SDK and AVD   Manager that you installed in the previous section          Open the Android SDK Manager window   android       Note  If this command does not open the Android SDK Manager    then your path is not configured correctly    Select the Tools checkbox    Select the checkbox for the latest Android SDK    From the Extras folder  select the checkbox for the Android Support Library    Click the Install packages    button to complete the download and installation       Note  You may want to install all the available updates  but be   aware it will take longer  as each API level is a large download

Came here from google looking for same issue and wasted 4 hours to figure out what could be wrong  And now I feel really stupid while posting this answer  In my case SDK  JDK  JRE  Ant and everything else was installed and working a day before   But just one particular project was giving me this issue  This one was under  C  Users Name Documents  location  Soon I realized that I was running cmd as normal user  as soon as I choose  Run as Administrator  everything started working   Tip  Always consider project location carefully
