The Android Command for Ionic Framework does not w

Question

I am on Windows 8 and following through how to install and use Cordova with Ionic Framework on Windows 8.1. I followed through the video here: http://learn.ionicframework.com/videos/windows-android/. I am stuck at 5:58 of the video where the SDK Manager is suppose to come up when I type 'android' in the command line, but it says it's unrecognizable command. I made sure my file directories are exact. What else am I missing? How do I fix this problem?

PATH
C:\Users\Jaime\AppData\Roaming\npm; C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\bin; C:\Development\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools; C:\Development\AndroidSDK\sdk\tools; C:\Development\ApacheAnt\bin; C:\Program Files\nodejs

Thanks!

Phonegap and cordova installation procedures

3)java jdk http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html?ssSourceSiteId=otnjp
