Cordova for android: An error occurred while listening android targets

Question

I have read all the questions for the same problems and I have tried everything but nothing is working for me when I try to add android platform for cordova.

Answer 1

I had the same issue with version 3.5.0.

The problem is, that the error message from the script check_reqs located in C:\Users\{yourUserName}\.cordova\lib\android\cordova\3.5.0\bin, is not forwarded correctly.

I run the mentioned script manually and got the following error message:

[Error: Please install Android target 19 (the Android newest SDK). Make sure you have the latest Android tools installed as well. Run "android" from your command-line to install/update any missing SDKs or tools.]

So basically to solve this issue you have to install the latest Android SDK.
