I am trying to build android for ionic in linux but its showing me an error like this
[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.]
ERROR building one of the platforms: Error: /home/kumar/myapp/platforms/android/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2

and i've added this in my bashrc file
export ANT_HOME="/usr/bin/ant"
export PATH="$PATH:$ANT_HOME/bin"
export HOME="/home/kumar"
export ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/android-sdk-linux/tools"
export ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS="$HOME/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools"
export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME:$ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS:$PATH"
I'm thinking i've given the path but i dont know why its showing me this error .. Please help....
This question is related to

You only have to edit your profile file like this:
sudo su
vim ~/.profile
and put this at the end of the file:
export ANDROID_HOME=/home/(user name)/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:/tools
export PATH=$PATH:/platform-tools
Save and close the file and do:
cd ~
source .profile
now if you do:
echo $ANDROID_HOME
it should show you something like this:
/home/(user name)/Android/Sdk
Windows - set environment variable permanently:
setx ANDROID_HOME "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk"
or
setx ANDROID_HOME "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk"
Download the android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html
You only export the path of SDK folder.
export ANDROID_HOME="YOUR_PATH/sdk/"
Great tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY22NSBwV_s
No need to do any bash commands/symlinks:
To add ANDROID_HOME value permanently,
gedit ~/.bashrc
and add the following lines
export ANDROID_HOME=/root/Android/Sdk
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
Save the file and you need not update ANDROID_HOME value everytime.
~/.bashrc
sudo su
vim ~/.bashrc
Common default install folders:
Example .bashrc
export ANDROID_HOME=/root/Android/Sdk
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
source ~/.bashrc
When
ionic build android
still fails it could be because of wrong sdk version. To install correct versions and images runandroid
from command line. Since it is now in your PATH you should be able to run it from anywhere.
into ~/.bash_profile add:
export ANDROID_HOME="/path/to/android-sdk-macosx"
export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH"
and then execute it in terminal to take effect immediately;
into /etc/sudoers add: (you can use console: sudo visudo
)
Defaults env_keep += "ANDROID_HOME"
since the building process has to start with sudo
and Node's process.env
get the respective variables.
The procedure is already well explained in the above answers. But if add the ANDROID_HOME
and PATH
to the .bashrc
or .zshrc
present in /home/username/
and try to run the ionic
command with sudo
, you may get this error again.
The reason is, it may look for the ANDROID_HOME
and PATH
in the .zshrc
file of root user instead of currently logged in user. So you shouldn't do that unless you add that in root user's .bashrc
or .zshrc
files.
In my Case: I have put the correct path for Android and java but still getting the error.
The problem was that I have added the Android platform using sudo command.sudo ionic cordova platform android
.
To solve my problem: First I have removed the platform android by running command
sudo ionic cordova platform rm android
then add the android platform again with out sudoionic cordova platform add android
but i get the error of permissions.
To resolve the error run command
sudo chmod -R 777 {Path-of-your-project}
in my case sudo chmod -R 777 ~/codebase/IonicProject
Then run command
ionic cordova platform add android
or
ionic cordova run android
Case: using SO Windows, try:
set ANDROID_HOME=C:\\android-sdk-windows
set PATH=%PATH%;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools
more in: http://spring.io/guides/gs/android/
Case: you don't have platform-tools:
cordova platforms list
cordova platforms add <Your_platform, example: Android>
I had this problem when running sudo ionic run android
as root as these environmental variables were not persisted. Fixed by running sudo -E ionic run android
.
