I'm trying to do phonegap build android
and I have this message :
[phonegap] detecting Android SDK environment...
[phonegap] using the local environment
[phonegap] adding the Android platform...
[error] An error occured during creation of android sub-project. Path not found
Phonegap is looking for "C:\Documents and Settings\corbg\.cordova\lib\android\cordova\3.0.0\bin\create". There is nothing under the directory "3.0.0". I installed cordova like this npm install -g cordova
.
I have the some problem when I run cordova platform add android
.
Did I missing something?
In Windows machine you have to delete .cordova directory under
C:\Users\user_name\
I have face the same issue, then i corrected my application path, afterthat it is worked out for me.
If you are using win 7 then add the Android ADK path in
open the mycomputer -> Properties -> Change Settings-> Advanced -> Environment Variable -> User variable for ....-> path
add the Android ADK path here like as following
C:\AndroidDev\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\tools; C:\AndroidDev\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\platform-tools
also add JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME.

Did you set your PATH variable? Sometimes this error occurs in Windows when the PATH variable is not set correctly to access "java" and "ant" exes. If you want to test if they are correctly set, you can simply execute both (from any folder in your command line):
> java
or
> ant
and both programs should be found.
It was a problem with my proxy. Cordova create a .cordova
directory and try to download something on the internet. The download did not work. Next time, it check if there is a .cordova
directory. It don't try to redownload something because the directory exist and it show the error.
I removed the .cordova
directory and I solved my problems with proxy. Now, everythings works.
What solved the issue for me was having 2 directories on my PATH, the android platform-tools and tools.
In my pc those folders were at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Also make sure you have the following environment variables
- JAVA_HOME (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51)
- ANT_HOME (C:\Program Files\apache\apache-ant-1.9.3)
- ANDROID_HOME (C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools)
I removed the .cordova folder under my user folder but I'm not quite sure if that helped as well.

I had the exact same problem for a different reason. I had an old version of ant (1.7.1). At least version 1.8.2 is needed for the build to work.
its either due to improper installation or no installation of ANT or JAVA. But moreover we need to add Android SDk and prepare Android Targets via SDK manager before going through this.
This is because you haven't installed ANT!
download it from here and install it step by step
https://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html
Then running the last command it will install the dependencies needed.
