Please install android target

Ionic on Windows: Android SDK installed. Still get «Error: Please install Android target: «android-22»

I have managed to break my previously working version of the Ionic enviroment. For example: I download the demo project «sidemenu» and run «ionic platform add android» without any problem. When I try to run «ionic build» I get the following message:

I don’t understand what causes the error message since android-22 is already installed. I have the SDK Platform-tools and build-tools as well. They are on the PATH:

This problem is new and I don’t know what caused it. Any advice on where I should look?

First of all, sorry for my dummy english. I just had the same problem and I fix it changing the target:

This should be done in two files:

Also the manifest should be updated:

I was having the same issue and this worked for me. I have Android Studio installed, which makes managing the SDK a lot easier.

1) When you launch Android Studio, click on the «Configure» option

2)Then click SDK Manager

4) Then select Android 5.1.1 which is the API level 22 that you need. Refer to the screenshot below.

This will installed the required android-22 that your build is asking for.

Try to make the following steps one by one and will be working:

See windows note and install all packages.You must have java jdk installed.And after set environement variable for ANDROID_HOME with command: set ANDROID_HOME=»your android location» .Hope this helps!

I’ve had the same issue. Problem was I was using cmder. Switching to windows cmd solved it for me.

Another possible reason might be that you have multiple Android SDK installations on your machine, and that Ionic is looking at the wrong installation, Ionic looks for the ANDROID_HOME environment variable, so make sure that it is set and pointing to the same location as the SDK manager you launch from Android Studio.

Modify or add that Environment Variable under the system path variables to make sure it applies to all users(you will have to relaunch command Prompt for changes to apply). Windows has two sets of environment variables, system and user, so if you run the command prompt as an Administrator for example you might get different environment variables.

The problem I had was that I was running the build in D:\ whereas the SDK was installed in C:\

I also tried many settings to Use SDK 22

Nothing worked till I not accepted SDK 22 licenses via command line

Remember to accept or install license newly installed SDK otherwise build process will show you an error or will try to install SDK which licenses you installed into your system.

Please install Android target: «android-21»

I have installed the latest cordova. The version is 4.3.0. I created an empty Cordova project:

I then add the platform:

I built the project with:

But i always get:

So i ran «android» to confirm I have latest SDK installed:

I then tried changing the target android sdk to be 19 so in AndroidManifest.xml I changed:

I ran the build command again, and I still get the exact same error. This is driving me nuts. Anyone have any ideas? I’ve built many many cordova projects on this same PC and have never seen this problem before.

I had the same problem and I fixed it appending to the PATH environment variable the following Android SDK folders:

• C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\tools
• C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools

not sure if this the place to post this answer but I spend over an hour trying to find why «cordova build» was demanding 22, when I had 23 installed so I thought I’d share:

In my case the project was created before I did and update was was targeting android-22 changing the line: «target=android-22» to «target=android-23»

in the following files allowed a build: \platforms\android\project.properties \platforms\android\CordovaLib\project.properties

I had the same problem — it occurs if you only download the Android SDK but have not yet started the android command and installed updates. In this case Cordova is telling you to install/update the SDK for Android’s API version 23 (specified as «android-23» in your platforms/android/project.properties file).

Solution: run android [*] and select the corresponding:

• Under Tools:
  • «Android SDK Platform-tools 23.1
  • «Android SDK Build-tools 23.1
• Under Android 6.0 (API 23)
  • SDK Platform

Install these and re-run cordova build android and it should work.

[*] Assuming your sdk/tools path is on your system PATH (see here)

I just had the same problem. I had to change the target:

This should be done in two files:

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

Also the manifest should be updated:

Follow these steps.
1) Type android on command line.(Make sure ANDROID_HOME and PATH are set properly)
2) Select API 21 from the populated list.
3) Click install packages .
4) Type android avd on command line.
5) Set API level and other config.
6) Now type ionic build android .

many times the problem is that not is configurated the path environment variable ANDRIOD_HOME. Take a look

In my case it was the path to my SDK folder that was causing this error.

I have been having the same problem in windows. It appeared that when I was running the SDK Manager you have to select «Run as Administrator» otherwise it denies permission to install certain files, on of them being «ANDROID-22»

Here is the the link I found to resolve this issue: android sdk manger not updating

Open Android SDK Manager, and check whether the target version exists, Install if not exists.

Make sure your project path doesn’t consist spaces.

I face the same problem asking me to install the target android platform when build. I have triple confirm my android sdk path, jdk path and various setting in path but still getting the same error. Finally, the problem resolved by simply renamed(removed spaces) the folder that store my Cordova project. For example : «C:\Cordova & Phonegap Sample\MyCordovaApp» to «C:\Cordova_Sample\MyCordova».

another way to fulfill an android target requirement would be:

Cordova 3.5.0 Install Error- Please Install Android Target 19

I try to get this working and it’s driving me nuts:

If did run the command android this are all the things I installed:

But it doesn’t help 🙁

Could someone help.

Android SDK is not your target Android version. Target Android version 19 is the API level for android Kitkat.So in you SDK manager check if you have Android 4.4.2(API 19) installed. If you want your target API version to be different then change it in ANdroidManifest.xml

Edit these lines. Here android:targetSdkVersion is your Android version that you are targeting.

Went into the SDK Manager (typing android into the terminal, assuming it’s in your file path)

Selected box next to Android 4.4.2 (API 19)

Clicked button Install 8 packages

Ran original command (in this example cordova platform add android , although it could be ionic platform add android , depending on what you’re working with)

I too was getting the same error 19. I have no idea about AndroidManifest.xml and where it is supposed to be.

In my case, I fixed the error by running the ‘android’ command from the console, opening the Android 4.4.2 (API19) tree and installing the SDK Platform.

After this was installed the cordova platform add android command worked as desired.

Further to this I had to install a few other elements of API19 to be able to create an android emulator:

• ARM EABI v7a System Image
• Intel x86 Atom System Image
• Google APIs (x86 System Image)
• Google APIs (ARM System Image)

I could then create an emulator based on API19 using the Android Virtual Device (AVD) Manager that is included in the android SDK bundle.

Please can anyone suggest what might be the problem?

I am using the following along with cordova — ant version 1.9.2 java 1.7.0_45

Have you correctly set android SDK tools in your Path ?

For Cordova command-line tools to work, you need to include the SDK’s tools and platform-tools directories in your PATH environment. On Mac, you can use a text editor to create or modify the

/.bash_profile file, adding a line such as the following, depending on where the SDK installs:

You have to install the SDK and include tools and platform-tools directories to your path, after you need to install correct versions of Android (19 in your case).

• Launches » SDK Manger» with administrator rights
• Install Android 4.4.2 (API 19)
• and retry command-line : cordova platforms add android

For Windows, in the Environment Variable try place the java\bin directory before the windows\system32 directory.

This makes the SDK Manager to use java from java\bin directory else it would use java found in the system32 folder.

I faced the same problem and the way I solved it is by lunching SDK Manager through the command prompt

The error looked like:

I simply opened the SDK manager, scrolled down, and downloaded the «Android 4.4.2 (API 19)» as a package and the problem was solved.

If you are using Windows, just go to the environment variables in system and look the System’s variable and add both:

¡live long and prosper!

I had the same problem, and in my case I was setting the
