Platform android al

Answer 1

Just reopening the command line fixed it.

Answer 2

$ cordova platforms remove android
$ cordova platforms add android@3.7.1

Answer 3

I am using cordova 3.5.0 which by default has target sdk as 19. You can install cordova 3.5.0 using

npm install -g cordova@3.5.0-0.2.6

For other versions of Cordova if you want to manually edit it you have to change this in AndroidManifest.xml file present in yourapplication/platfomrs/android.

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

Answer 4

Steps:

• $ /Users/username/Library/Android/sdk/tools/android
• Install Android 5.1.1 (API 22)
• $ cordova platforms add android@4.4.2
• $ cordova build --release android

It works for me.

Answer 5

My problem got solved after installing SDK Platform of Andriod 5.1.1 (API 22) from Andriod Manager.

Answer 6

Change these two. I din't try it for lower versions but this worked for me in upper versions

target=android-22<br>

This should be changed in two files like below:

target=android-19<br>

Location of the two files:

myApp/platforms/android/project.properties
myApp/platforms/android/CordovaLib/project.properties
