cordova platform add android gives the error: “Error: The provided path is not an Android project.”

Question

When I run the command, I get the error:

C:\\Users\\me\\adtworkspace\\project1>cordova platform add android [Error: The provided path \"C:\\Users\\me\

Answer 1

I had the same problem which I solved using the -d flag to show debug output

cordova -d platform add android

My debug output showed that I need to set a JAVA_HOME environment variable and then I needed to add JAVA and ANT to the path.
