cordova - Error: Failed to fetch platform android

Question

I installed cordova and create a new project.

But when I use this command to add android platform:

cordova platform add android

Answer 1

you can check the android version provided by cordova by typing cordova platform ls inside projectname/cordova folder. I refered from below url https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/.
(For me .cordova/lib folder was empty).

Then add that platform from inside project's cordova folder by executing cordova platform add android@5.1.1 (in my case, solved the issue).
