Ionic Cordova Build Android No installed build tools found

I am having trouble building my ionic application on android on Ubuntu 16.04

This is step step what I have done in order to make it happen

  1. Downloaded Android Studio
  2. Downloaded the Android Sdk

  3. in /.bashrc and /.bash_profile

    export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk

    export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools

    export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

When I hit sudo ionic cordova build android I a getting this error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • Where:

Script '/home/iraklis/Desktop/mus/platforms/android/CordovaLib/cordova.gradle' line: 68

  • What went wrong:

A problem occurred evaluating project ':CordovaLib'.

No installed build tools found. Install the Android build tools version 19.1.0 or higher.

this here is my ionic info:

Ionic:

   ionic (Ionic CLI)             : 4.6.0 (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic)
   Ionic Framework               : @ionic/angular 4.0.0-rc.3
   @angular-devkit/build-angular : 0.12.2
   @angular-devkit/schematics    : 7.1.4
   @angular/cli                  : 7.1.4
   @ionic/angular-toolkit        : 1.2.2

Cordova:

   cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.1.2 ([email protected])
   Cordova Platforms     : android 7.1.4
   Cordova Plugins       : cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.1.3, cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 2.3.2, (and 9 other plugins)

System:

   Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1 (/home/iraklis/Android/Sdk)
   NodeJS            : v10.11.0 (/usr/local/bin/node)
   npm               : 6.4.1
   OS                : Linux 4.15

I am thinking that.. maybe this here in cordova.gradle

String[] getAvailableBuildTools() {
    def buildToolsDir = new File(getAndroidSdkDir(), "build-tools")
    buildToolsDir.list()
        .findAll { it ==~ /[0-9.]+/ }
        .sort { a, b -> compareVersions(b, a) }
}

for some reason cannot find the build-tools..?

EDIT

I just noticed, when i do echo $ANDROID_HOME it prints /home/iraklis/Android/Sdk as expected but when i run ionic cordova build android after building it prints ANDROID_HOME=/usr/lib/android-sdk . How can i change that?

The proper command to install the appropriate build tools is

sdkmanager "build-tools;33.0.2"

(Of course substitute whatever version you want for 33.0.2)

Using sdkmanager packages "build-tools;33.0.2" now in 2023 gives a package 'packages' not found error.

Then, add the following to your path to your .zshrc or .bashrc file (or whatever rc file your shell uses

#Add Android Studio SDK to the Environment Variables
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT="/Users/<your user folder>/Library/Android/sdk"
#ANDROID_HOME is deprecated. Do not use it anymore

#Add Android build-tools and platform-tools to the path
export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/build-tools/33.0.2:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools"

(Again, be sure to substitute whatever version you're using for the 33.0.2 above. And obviously should be replaced with your actual user-folder name.)

If you have brew installed, you may be able to just try this: brew install android-sdk This should then let you run sdkmanager packages "build-tools;25.0.3"

you need to install the build-tools 25.0.3 (just assuming it may require these):

sdkmanager packages "build-tools;25.0.3"

or even several build-tools versions ...

sdkmanager packages "build-tools;25.0.3" "build-tools;26.0.3" "build-tools;27.0.3" "build-tools;28.0.3"
