Error initializing Cordova: Class not found

Question

I followed the tutorial of Phonegap from the official Phonegap.com site (getting started with Android).

I have created project with following all the steps.

Answer 1

I ran into the same error: "Error initializing Cordova: Class not found", using cordova with visual studio 2015. But this wasn't the only error, none of my plugins seem to get trough. I've tried about EVERYTHING. From cordova platform rm/add android x1000 times, to deleting and re-adding the plugins manually, nothing seem to do the trick.

Then i changed my cordova-cli in the taco.json file from 5.3.3 to 5.4.0 and ran it on my device. Finally this fixed the whole issue for me. I then downgraded the cordova version back to 5.3.3 ( the 5.4.0 version is not supported by the adb bridge as of yet ). Try it out!
