Answer 1

I think you have cordova-android version older than 5. Try to force cordova update:

npm install -g [email protected]

then try to readd cordova-android:

cordova platform rm android
cordova platform add android

Answer 2

run

$ sudo npm uninstall cordova -g

and

$ sudo npm install -g [email protected]

I did not get another solution

Answer 3

Run this at your terminal

ionic cordova platform rm .idea
