Question

Am new with Travis alongside android development, my build is failing because of the error title I indicated, I have been reading the documentation and I tried to implement it, but still, the build is failing.

The link to my failing build is as below https://travis-ci.org/huxaiphaer/ConvergeLevelApp

Below is the error on Travis.

$ java -Xmx32m -version

java version "1.8.0_144"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)

$ javac -J-Xmx32m -version

javac 1.8.0_144

0.46s$ echo no | android create avd --force -n test -t android-22 --abi armeabi-v7a

Error: Target id is not valid. Use 'android list targets' to get the target ids.

The command "echo no | android create avd --force -n test -t android-22 --abi armeabi-v7a" failed and exited with 1 during .

Your build has been stopped.

One of the solutions I implemented was to list the target ids, with the following command in the before_script :

 - android list targets

and I got the following list of them, but I don't know :

This is my build.gradle file

Seems you forgot to add emulator dependency and that's why no valid ABI is found. To run the emulator you need to install the android-22 platform for emulator to works:

android: 
  components: 
    - ...
    # Specify at least one system image,
    # if you need to run emulator(s) during your tests
    - android-22
    - sys-img-armeabi-v7a-android-22
    - ...
