I'm working my way through APress's Beginning Android 2 and I've made it all the way to chapter 3, where we build a skeleton app. The book tells me to compile my application by typing "ant" in the command line, but my pc doesn't know what "ant" is yet. I checked in the SDK files and it looks like it wasn't included with the Android SDK. Does anybody know where ant is?
Thanks

Quick fix: Uninstall Android SDK (default location C:\Users\.. \AppData\Local\Android\Sdk ) and install it again. This time affirms the minimum required storage space at your place of download. After execution check, if tools folder is now added in SDK directory.
Close the current project and you'll see a pop-up with a dialog which will then proceed to Configure option. Configure -> Project Defaults -> Project Structure -> SDKs on left column -> Android SDK Home Path -> give the exact path as you did on local. properties and select Valid Target.
by default, the "Android Studio IDE" will be installed in " C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio ", and the "Android SDK" in " c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk ".
Navigate to “Appearance & Behavior” > “System Settings” > “Android SDK” and now you can see the SDK versions that were installed in the “API Level” and “Name” columns (focus on “API Level”).
Ant isn't included with the Android SDK. I suggest you get it from the official site.

Ant is tool to build projects from commondline and it is different tool. It's not android specific. So if your are using a Debian-based/Ubuntu machine you can install it by
sudo apt-get install ant If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
