I am new to Ionic 2 with MobileFirst 8, Upto my knowledge i have installed Mobilefirst Server and MFP CLI Globally. I created Ionic project with android platfrom then i installed Cordova-plugin-mfp. When i tried to run ionic cordova emulate android throws

Error: Failed to prepare plug-in for android : An unexpected error occurred. Contact IBM support. [ERROR] An error occurred while running cordova emulate android (exit code 1).

Below are my System Details.

Currently the Cordova android platform versions supported by the MobileFirst plug-ins, is: cordova-android: >= 6.1.2 and < 7.0

Try using command 'cordova platform add android@6.1.2'.
