You will need to go to your environment variables and update the below to your path.

android-sdk\platform-tools

android-sdk\tools

apache-ant-1.9.4\bin

jdk1.8.0_31\bin

Depending on your OS, for windows 8 the quickest way to get to the window to edit your path is by clicking the windows key on your keyboard and searching environment variables. The first item in the list, "edit environment variables for your account" is correct. Make sure you add the full path of each of the above.

Your PATH variable should look something like this...

C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files\nodejs\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin;C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools;C:\Users[user]\Documents\Development\sdks\apache-ant-1.9.4\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\Users[user]\AppData\Roaming\npm

Where I have %JAVA_HOME% I have simply named a new variable JAVA_HOME which has the following path...

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31

I did this simply to make the string of text in PATH shorter. You can just replace, where I have %JAVA_HOME%, with C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31 or where ever your path to jdk1.8.0_31 .

Please make sure that you put in the correct path that is relevent to where you have each of these and don't copy what I have above as this will not work for you.
