无法在Phonegap中添加Android平台

Question

I want to create Android apps using Phonegap. I have installed nodejs, phonegap, cordova, eclipse and everything. But while trying to add android platform i am getting this error. After a lot of searching some says add 'ant' path to system variables. I have done that. But may be i did wrong. Tried a lot of times. Not working. Here the error i am getting while trying to add android platform

C:\hello>cordova platform add android

Answer 1

In order to develop with PhoneGap, and for the system (Windows in your case) to recognize all the directories and all the files you installed, you indeed need to add those libraries to "variables" inside the System Properties.

Make sure you have the right path. For example:

Variable name: JAVA_HOME Variable value: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jdk1.6.0_39

Variable name: ANT_HOME Variable value: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\WinAnt

Answer 2

I had the same problem but solved.The issue related with ant path.Set the path in system variables by this way. goto Environmentvariables->system variables->select path variable click edit and add your ant path after a semicolon.
