  • Note: I copied the tools.jar from jdk/lib to jre/lib after some research on the internet. Not working.

  • Note 2: I give the command "cd C:\Users\barisa.cordova\lib\android\cordova\3.4.0\bin" There is a check_reqs file in that folder. However if i type $ chek_reqs in the command line it says "check_reqs is not recognized as an internal or external command ...."

  • Note 3: I opened command propmt (cmd) by right click -> run as administrator What should i do?

have you solved this issue? – Plication
yes, i solved it. the order of paths in the environment variable were important. since i quitted my job, i cannot tell the order of variables. but advise you to check them twice. – Nightwear
my order of paths is correct.But no idea still getting same error. – Plication
Then please give us right order of path friend – Everick

If you are sure of yours paths try to type android in cmd if it says: 'xcopy' was not recognized.

then add to your path:

%SystemRoot%\system32; %SystemRoot%; %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;

In certain cases, don't forget to reboot the PC.

In my case, I had to restart the PC :) (I am on WIndows OS). – Person

In my case I just needed to add "C:\Windows\System32" to my windows path.

I had a similar issue when trying ionic platform add android.

result; partial build with ENOENT error titled "cordova-plugin-console" on the same child process as mentioned above superspawn.js

After trying reinstalling etc.. without resolution I changed my path variables around. ANDROID_HOME was placed in user variables --

C:\Users\XXXXXX\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk

PATH was updated in the system variables to remove previous entries for SDK and added at the end; %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32;C:\Users\XXXXXX\Node\;C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools;C:\Users\XXXXXX\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools;

Restart pc, tested with new app ionic start <new folder> tabs cd to the folder created, test it runs with ionic serve --lab exit with q then try to add the platform. ionic platform add android

now it works..

Please note********* now when i run 'android' in the CMD from my user dir... C:\Users\XXXXX>android

i do not see the xcopy not found displayed to my screen. android SDK manager always loaded before and still now after i changed my paths.

Hope this helps p.s I run these cmds from my user acc which is not the admin acc as i never log in as or use my pc as an administrator.

Try to follow these steps:

  1. run the command: npm uninstall cordova -g
  2. delete the folder: C:\Users\your-name\.cordova
  3. reinstall the cordova: npm install -g cordova
  4. now go to the project folder and try again: cordova platform add android

Make sure that if you created PATH as a system variable, you should run Command Prompt as administrator.

I created PATH as a user variable, and would get the same error when tryin to run as administrator.

In my case problem was user variable TEMP. There were two folders.

Not working TEMP -path: 

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp;C:\php

Working TEMP -path:

 %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp

After this everything worked fine!

I had this exact same error days ago with cordova version 3.1.Go to directory path C:\Program Files\nodejs and then install your cordova.Sometimes cordova cannot connect to the right path of npm due to conflict.Then create your project and add platform android.Hope this solution works for you too.

hi.thanks for the suggesstion. i went to the c:\program files\nodejs directory and uninstalled the cordova with the command "$ npm uninstall cordova -g" then within the same directory i installed it with the command "$ npm install cordova -g". then i created a brand new project and i tried to add platform android. however i am getting the same error. – Nightwear
