ionic build Android | error: No installed build tools found. Please install the Android build tools

Question

When I run ionic build android command in root of ionic project, I am getting this error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Answer 1

This is very irritating error and i wasted my almost 9 hours to solve this.

Steps to solve:

Notice **ANDROID_HOME** while you run **ionic cordova build android** . command i. for example in my case it was pointing to some other android sdk which i uninstalled and then it started pointing to right sdk.
**In my case i uninstalled :**

brew cask uninstall android-sdk
brew cask uninstall android-platform-tool


then i ran **ionic cordova build android**

> cordova build android
ANDROID_HOME=/Users/anand/Library/Android/sdk
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents/Home


Then it might say lineces not accepted then run below command :

cd /Users/Android/sdk/tools/bin/
then run ./sdkmanager --licenses
accepts all with y option


Then it might say unable to download jars then go to platform android and build.gradle

and search for buildscript and inside that reverse the order 


repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
    }

Thats it . Enjoy huh
