Create a new Android PhoneGap project either via the command line tools

Question

I am developing Android Application using jQuery Mobile and Phonegap and as I mention in the question I need to open Android project through Command Line, I set 3 path in my Environmental Variable.

1. ANT_HOME (C:\\Program Files\\apache-ant-1.9.4-bin\\apache-ant-1.9.4\\bin)
2. JAVA_HOME (C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_07)
3. PATH (C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_07\\bin)

I download the latest version of Phonegap, then in command line i give path to phonegap folder.

cd C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\phonegap\phonegap-2.9.1\phonegap-2.9.1\lib\android\bin

It's working good then I type

create (path of folder to create App)com.example.project DemoApp

output is:

Cannot not locate ant.bat using the PATH variable.

Answer 1

You need to add the ANT_HOME to the PATH variable.

Open the console window and type the following

set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%

or You could do it by changing the PATH environment variable in the window below.

MyComputer->Properties->Advanced->Env Variables->Path.
