Answer 1

I suggest to you to use a gradle updated. I'm using at january 2018 gradle 4.1

To set the target of your android project you can run:

$ export ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_cdvMinSdkVersion=21
$ cordova build android

As is written in doc: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/dev/guide/platforms/android/index.html#setting-gradle-properties

And if at least yet doesn't working... download the appropriated build tool. With command line is:

$ android/tools/bin/sdkmanager "build-tools;21.0.0"

And try again the requirement or build.

Answer 2

Try installing a target with sdkmanager on the command line.
e.g.

sdkmanager "platforms;android-26"

and then trying cordova requirements again.
Hopefully you should then get the message:

Android target: installed android-26
