How to set ANDROID_SDK_ROOT in mac?

Question

I am trying to use Cordova for app development. For now I am focusing on Android. I am trying to run cordova emulate android. It runs and after a long list of packages it says ‘build sucessful’ but in the end it also says

PANIC: Cannot find AVD system path. Please define ANDROID_SDK_ROOT

I use Homebrew. Here is output of the command on the command line:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL  Total time: 1.345 secs Built the following apk(s):     /users/mayurtolani/myMobileApp/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-debug.apk  ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/android-sdk/24.4.1_1 JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_101.jdk/Contents/Home No emulator specified, defaulting to Nexus_5_API_24 Waiting for emulator to start... PANIC: Cannot find AVD system path. Please define ANDROID_SDK_ROOT 

Answer 1

vim ~/.bash_profile 

Then add the following environment variables:

export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=~/Library/Android/sdk export ANDROID_AVD_HOME=~/.android/avd 

Android path might be different, if so change it accordingly. At last, to refresh the terminal to apply changes:

source ~/.bash_profile 

Answer 2

Since you used Homebrew, you can add this to your path:

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/usr/local/share/android-sdk 

Hope I helped! :D
