Cordova can’t outrun "Android target: not installed"

Question

I’m trying to use Cordova for the first time.

I’ve seen the directories the Androidmanifest.xml file and the project.properties file

No Android Studio já instalar os SDK Android para as plataformas 14, 16 e da 20 a 27.

I don’t know what else to do...

This is the give:

C:\Android\Cordova\hello>cordova requirements
Android Studio project detected

Requirements check results for android:
Java JDK: installed
Android SDK: installed true
Android target: not installed

when adding android:

*Androidmanifest.xml changed after "Cordova Platform add [email protected]"

Answer 1

Already Works.

It had Java JDK 9.0.4 installed and that was the problem.

I installed Java JDK 8u162, I changed the JAVA_HOME variable to the new JDK and it’s gone.

Answer 2

I guess you didn’t add via cordova in its specific project.

First check that Cordova is up to date, run the following command:

npm update -g cordova

If it is linux/mac:

sudo npm update -g cordova

Navigate via CMD to the folder, like this:

cd C:\Android\Cordova\hello
cordova platform add android

It may take a while.

If you want to add a specific version of android, for example, on your androidmanifest.xml targetSDK is 25:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="25"/>

So you need android 7.1, do this:

cordova platform remove android
cordova platform add [email protected]

If it’s 7.1.1 as in the image you posted:

Do so:

cordova platform remove android
cordova platform add [email protected]

Support of the Cordova

Conforme o blog a ultima postagem sobre android https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2018/02/26/cordova-android-7.1.0.html for now Cordova support for Android 7.1.0, but there were no updates to support 7.1.1 (so far 20/03/2018).

So the suggestion is to use an older version for the targetSdk, editing on androidmanifest.xml for:

 <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="24"/>

So will use Android 7.0 as target, so in the project run:

cordova platform remove android
cordova platform add android

Or:

cordova platform remove android
cordova platform add [email protected]

When version 7.1.1 is available on Ordova just edit again and put 25.
