Unable to make a Cordova WebView on Android

I'm following the instructions here to setup an Android WebView but I cannot get past step #2 below:

  1. Navigate to the Android package's /framework directory and run ant jar. It creates the Cordova .jar file, formed as /framework/cordova-x.x.x.jar.

Running ant returns an error:

build.xml:42: You need to create the file 'local.properties' by running 'android update project -p .' here.

How can I get past this problem?

  1. You will have to choose the version of android you want to use, if you have downloaded the Android SDK and added to the path variable of your system you can do this:

    android list targets

    It will give you an answer like this one:

    Available Android targets:
----------
id: 1 or "android-8"
Name: Android 2.2
Type: Platform
API level: 8
Revision: 3
Skins: WQVGA432, QVGA, WQVGA400, WVGA854, WVGA800 (default), HVGA
ABIs : armeabi
----------
id: 2 or "android-17"
Name: Android 4.2.2
Type: Platform
API level: 17
Revision: 2
Skins: WXGA720, WXGA800-7in, WQVGA432, WSVGA, QVGA, WQVGA400, WXGA800, WVGA854, WVGA800 (default), HVGA

----------

ABIs : armeabi-v7a
----------

  2. I choose the highest one i have so I did:

    android update project -p . -t android-19

  3. And finally

    ant jar

    The result is something like:

    jar:
[jar] Building jar: C:\Users\Daniele\Desktop\cordova-android\framework\cor
dova-3.5.1.jar

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 11 seconds

Now you've got your jar. (A more detailed explanation can be found at Where is cordova-2.7.0.jar?)
