Ionic Android Platform Build Failed

Question

Everytime i try to build my android platform on ionic I am greeted by the error stating that my JAVA_HOME is invalid whereas it points to the correct path as seen below. I have tried removing and re-adding the platform and re-adding the paths in the environment variables but nothing seems to work. I have been trying to troubleshoot this error for days now. Please help!

Input:

ionic build android

Output:

[Error: Failed to run "java -version", make sure that you have a JDK installed.
You can get it from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads.
Your JAVA_HOME is invalid: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_75;

Answer 1

Have you checked to see if the JAVA_HOME that it's referencing exists? Open up a command prompt and enter: "%Java_home%/bin/java" -version to see what you get. If you get anything other than version information from Java, you need to verify and update your System Variable for JAVA_HOME in your Windows Environment Variables.

Answer 2

I had a similar problem,

in my case i set JAVA_HOME=\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_45 and my actual installed version was under jdk1.7.0_75 .

So check installed version is jdk1.7.0_75
