Why do I get this error when trying to run my Cordova application in Android?

I downloaded and added "Nexus 5X API 26" to "Your Virtual Devices" in Android Studio, so that Cordova has at least 1 possible target to run in.

However, when I run the command

cordova run android

The terminal (after some other lines) responds:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Total time: 1.305 secs
Built the following apk(s): 
    /Users/karel/Cordova Projects/demo/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-debug.apk
ANDROID_HOME=/Users/karel/Library/Android/sdk
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_144.jdk/Contents/Home
No target specified and no devices found, deploying to emulator
Error: Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined

The emulator runs fine when I run it from an application in Android Studio, but not when using the cordova run command - which does work for other platforms.

If you can help me, that would be very appreciated!

Try to target API 25 instead of 26.

Problem and his fix are reported here: https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/error-cannot-read-property-replace-of-undefined-android/93297/31

In file /platforms/android/cordova/lib/emulator.js line 202:

var num = target.split('(API level ')[1].replace(')', '');

You need to replaced it with a regex search and extraction:

var num = target.match(/\d+/)[0];

because the target is Android API 26 and it is trying to parse it with this:

var num = target.split('(API level ')[1].replace(')', '')
