I recently wanted to try out ionic and specifically develop android apps. I was able to set everything up using the ionic tutorial and run via localhost. I want to be able to do the same using the android emulator but have been unsuccessful. I have searched and tried everything but I am still not sure how to resolve the error below. All the code is from the ionic getting started page with their project called todo. If anyone could help me with this. it would be much appreciated. I am using Ubuntu. The following is what my terminal gives when I run "ionic build android"
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:

From what I see I understand that something is wrong with the aapt file, If I remove it it throws errors, so I am not sure how to edit the aapt file
