How to run an app on Android Emulator in Visual Studio 2013

I want to develop Multi Device Hybrid Apps with Visual Studio 2013. My problem (I despair of it since hours):

When I create a BlankCordovaApp project, I can run this app with the Ripple Emulator of Visual Studio. This works.

But when I try to run it with the Android Emulator, I get the following error:

BUILD FAILED
1>  C:\Users\Sabi\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools\ant\build.xml:932: The following error occurred while executing this line:

(exit with code 8)

I found many answers which are about checking the environment path variables or something. I've also checked the environment variables in Tools - Options - Multi-Device Hybrid Apps - Environment Variable Overrides. But they are right!

When I try to build a cordova app without Visual Studio, it works and the app runs on my Android Emulator.

But this works only, when I create a new project with:

$ cordova create hello com.example.hello "Hello World" $ cd hello $ cordova platform add android $ cordova build

If I want to build the Visual Studio project with "$ cordova build", I receive the same error like in Visual Studio.

Thanks, Sabi

I had the same problem and battled for days before I worked it out. Basically the CTP install does not install all the files because Windows Defender blocks them (which files, I don't care.)

  1. Goto control panel & uninstall CTP2, Java, Git, node, apple stuff, android (Basically everything the original ctp install did)
  2. REBOOT PC
  3. TURN OFF Windows Defender & any other anti-virus
  4. Reinstall CTP2
  5. REBOOT PC
  6. Use Android AVD to create a new emulator
  7. Open Visual Studio & create a new Blank Cordova App
  8. Run in Android Emulator
  9. Turn back on Windows Defender & any other anti-virus
  10. For existing projects you may have to delete the bld folder before running the project

Hope this helps
