Answer 1

Got the same issue outside of Android Studio, when trying to build for Cordova using the sdk from command line (cordova build android).

The solution provided by Rudy works in this case too. You just don't downgrade the version of Build Tools from Android Studio but you do it using the android sdk manager ui.
