Answer 1

Ensure your Android SDK installation contains the libraries for the same API version you have configured on your pom.xml.

For example, if your configuration XML looks like:

    com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2
    android-maven-plugin
    ...
    
        
            ${env.ANDROID_HOME}
            8
        
        ...
    

then you should verify with Android SDK Manager (or directly checking on your filesystem: $ANDROID_HOME/platforms) that you have SDK API 8 installed. Of course you can also change your pom.xml to match the library installed.
