Error: Could not find gradle wrapper within Android SDK (cordova + ionic)

Question

When running ionic build android

ANDROID_HOME=/Library/Android/sdk
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_92.jdk/Contents/Home

Error: Could not find gradle wrapper within Android SDK. Might need to update your Android SDK.
Looked here: /Library/Android/sdk/tools/templates/gradle/wrapper

I tried updating sdk using android update sdk -u
