It is most common when you run cordova requirements command in CMD. As a result, this makes android app development hard to start. Sometimes it shows up when opening Android studio.
Causes
This Android Home problem comes about as a result of 1 of the following
- The Android Home variable may actually not be set in environment variables
- Or it is set but the computer can’t find the platform tools folder (inside the SDK still)
ANDROID HOME SOLUTION
The quickest solution for this is to run the following commands in DOS/CMD. For step 1, make sure you replace “installation location” with the exact folder of your android sdk e.g. c:\androidadt\sdk. For step 2 just copy, paste and run
set ANDROID_HOME=C:\ installation location \android-sdkset PATH=%PATH%;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-toolsThe steps should be in that order
In case the issue was with Android studio, a restart may be necessary. If it was with “cordova requirements” command, just run the command again and you’ll see it fixed.
