I simply add an empty file named as VERSION:

C:\Users\myuser\.cordova\lib\android\cordova\3.1.0\VERSION

after, I wrote this text inside it:

3.1.0

after, run phonegap again:

[phonegap] adding the Android platform...
[phonegap] compiling Android...
[phonegap] successfully compiled Android app

Good luck!

I would suggest as a bare minimum first step you should check via the command line that the following commands return a response that shows they are working correctly. They are all required. Ant - http://ant.apache.org/

Java -http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/downloads/java-ee-sdk-6u3-jdk-7u1-downloads-523391.html

android - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

In command line type the following to validate they work

Ant

java

android

Make sure you have node.js installed (http://nodejs.org/) Also make sure you look at you PATH file and that everything is correct there.

As I say that's the basics (once you have stuff installed)

It is kind of tricky This is the sequence I have to go through.

  1. run a clean in eclipse (Project Menu)
  2. sudo phonegap build android (cordova if that is what you are using)
  3. then you have to reapply the read write permissions to the whole folder (this step may not be needed depending on your permissions)
  4. then in eclipse run refresh on the project
  5. then build.
  6. Run

Try to install latest cordova. Maybe it will help:

$ sudo npm install -g cordova

(also you will need node.js installed)
