There is no plugin. I have updated all Cordova, npm, android studio with the latest one. But still not able to solve this issue.

SDK tools uninstall and install again.

Answer 1

Finally, I found the solution. Its a Corova package issue. By default under android local.properties file will be creating while adding cordova platform android. Now that file is not adding.

Create new file --> Project--> Platform --> android--> local.properties

and keep this --> sdk.dir=/path/sdk example [sdk.dir=/Users/admin/Library/Android/sdk]

then it starts working.

Thanks.

Answer 2

I was creating a project from ionic 3. I run ionic cordova platform add android and generated the Android Project. When I tried to run the project then I got the above issue.

At the Project level, I did follow step

Create new file --> Project--> Platform --> android--> local.properties

Add this line:--> sdk.dir=/Users/anilgupta/Library/Android/sdk and hit sync now. (anilgupta -- use your username for mac)

It builds the new Gradle and syncs with Project.
