Problems with the Phonegap

Question

I discovered this Phonegap not long ago, but today I got the urge to meet him. Well, as I said on the site, I needed to download Nodejs and execute a command on the CMD for it to install Phonegap.

After this, I needed to create a folder so that Phonegap registers it as an application to be developed.

The website said I needed to run this in the project folder:

phonegap run android

But while executing the command, returned the following error in my CMD window:

E:\Outros\PhoneGap\fenix>phonegap run android
[phonegap] detecting Android SDK environment...
[phonegap] using the local environment
[phonegap] adding the Android platform...

EDIT

After installing the ant, phonegap still shows error:

Answer 1

Your mistake:

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.

Which translates into:

Error: Please install Android version 19 (the latest version of Android SDK). Also make sure you have the latest version of the Android tools installed as well. Run "android" from the command line to install/update any missing Sdks or tools.

Tell us your problem could be one of two:

1. You have what you need installed but you don’t have the paths configured;
2. You don’t have what it takes to install.

Deal with the paths

You have two ways to add the Android SDK to path windows. For the sake of clarity, let’s assume you have the facility at:

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

1. Commandline

   From the command line you can execute:

   set path=%path%;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools;
   

2. Ambiente Gráfico

   You can access the environment variable configuration dialog and edit to add the desired path:

   1. Access:

      "My computer""Properties"Advanced""Environment Variables";

   2. Choose and edit the variable path:

      

   3. At the end add the path:

      C:\ android-sdk-windows\tools;
      

      Particular attention to the use of ; to separate from existing paths.

      

Install what’s missing

If you do not have the Android SDK, at least the requested version that is the 19, should install before checking the paths.
