I've had same error but with apktool. Message states, that "ERROR: input directory 'ini' does not exist". Nothing helps, but suddenly I've found next lines in apk_dir/apktool.yml file:

doNotCompress:
- js
- ''
- ini
- dat
- cfg
- xml

After removing those lines error gone.

UPD: removing only line with quotes - '' solves problem

I found Error

" -I C:\\\"Program Files (x86)\"\\Android\\android-sdk\\platforms\\android-21\\android.jar\"";

This Line was missing starting quote of the URL, while it contains ending quoteI fixed error by including quote like this:

" -I \"C:\\\"Program Files (x86)\"\\Android\\android-sdk\\platforms\\android-21\\android.jar\""

Thanks to @Prashant and @Laszlo Lugosi for your attention.

your error is because of 

public static String ANDROID_HOME = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk";

here space is present in Program Files (x86).

You can check accessing file having space in path

I think you need to use quote "" when there is SPACE in a directory name. Batch file assume Files as next parameter in Program Files.
