Answer 1

SOLUTION FOR Mac

Sample problem but I found my solution with brew.
1. Make sure you have the latest Android Studio installed.
2. Confirm from SDK manager that you have the required SDKs installed.
3. (optional)you could have an AVD installed as well.
4. install Homebrew.

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

5. Then run brew update to make sure Homebrew is up to date.

brew update

6. Run brew doctor to make sure everything is safe

brew doctor

7. Add Homebrew's location to your $PATH in your .bash_profile or .zshrc file.

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

8. If you don't have Node already installed, add:

brew install node

9. (Optional) To test out your Node and npm install, try installing Grunt (you might be asked to run with sudo)

npm install -g grunt-cli

10. Install Gradle

brew install gradle

Run: cordova run android --device with you device connected on a Mac and you have gradle working this time.
