Android Error: Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME

问题:

I just started Android development with ionic framework on Linux (Ubuntu).

I successfully created my ionic project using the command:

sudo ionic start demo blank

Now to add the android platform to the project, I ran the command:

sudo ionic platform add android

And this is the result it gave me:

At first I doubted if it had successfully added the android platform so I ran the same command again (sudo platform add android) and it said platform already existed.

Now seeing the last section of the error, I set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable by putting this code at the end of my .bashrc file located my home directory.

export ANDROID_HOME=/home/awa/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:/home/awa/Android/Sdk/tools
export PATH=$PATH:/home/awa/Android/Sdk/platform-tools

I saved the file. In order to build my project, I ran the command:

sudo ionic build android

and it gave the error:

add to body class: platform-android

Error: Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable. Try setting setting it manually. Failed to find 'android' command in your 'PATH'. Try update your 'PATH' to include path to valid SDK directory.

I verified again to make sure I had succeeded in setting the ANDROID_HOME environment variable correctly. So in the Command line I ran the command echo $ANDROID_HOME and it gave as output:

/home/awa/Android/Sdk

...which is the right directory for my SDK.

I have tried other solutions like setting the environment variables in the .profile file but nothing changed.

Now I am suspecting the problem may have something to do with my sdk version though I'm not entirely sure.

What am I doing wrong, or what I'm I missing?
