Ionic android build Error - Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable

Question

I am trying to build android for ionic in linux but its showing me an error like this

     [Error: Failed to find \'ANDROID_HOME\' environment variable. 
           


        

Answer 1

Setup for Linux/Ubuntu/Mint

1. download Android Studio or SDK only
2. install
3. set PATH

3.1) Open terminal and edit ~/.bashrc

sudo su
vim ~/.bashrc

3.2) Export ANDROID_HOME and add folders with binaries to your PATH

Common default install folders:

• /root/Android/Sdk
• ~/Android/Sdk

Example .bashrc

export ANDROID_HOME=/root/Android/Sdk
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

3.3) Refresh your PATH

source ~/.bashrc

4) Install correct SDK

When ionic build android still fails it could be because of wrong sdk version. To install correct versions and images run android from command line. Since it is now in your PATH you should be able to run it from anywhere.
