There is no plugin.
I have updated all Cordova, npm, android studio with the latest one. But still not able to solve this issue.
SDK tools uninstall and install again.

Answer 1

Finally, I found the solution.
Its a Corova package issue. By default under android local.properties file will be creating while adding cordova platform android. Now that file is not adding.
Create new file --> Project--> Platform --> android--> local.properties
and keep this --> sdk.dir=/path/sdk example [sdk.dir=/Users/admin/Library/Android/sdk]
then it starts working.
Thanks.

gradle.properties + Sync
Step 1:
Add your Android SDK path into gradle.properties file. (In my case it was)
sdk.dir=/Users/rohit_pc/Library/Android/sdk
Step 2:
Sync Project with Gradle Files
Deeper understanding:
When you add sdk.dir path and Sync Project with Gradle Files. It automatically creates the local.properties file for you. If you forget to sync the project you will still get the error

Answer 3

I was creating a project from ionic 3. I run ionic cordova platform add android and generated the Android Project.
When I tried to run the project then I got the above issue.
At the Project level, I did follow step
Create new file --> Project--> Platform --> android--> local.properties
Add this line:--> sdk.dir=/Users/anilgupta/Library/Android/sdk
and hit sync now. (anilgupta -- use your username for mac)
It builds the new Gradle and syncs with Project.

Answer 4

Alternatively to editing gradle config files, you can set either ANDROID_HOME or ANDROID_SDK_ROOT in your environment variables.
On Windows, that's usually <user-home>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk.

Answer 5

For Me in Ionic -->
Add Flie gradlew.bat and gradlew To Folder platforms\android

Answer 6

For MacOS
Depending on your bash:
vi ~/.bash_profile
or
vi ~/.zshenv
Then append this line
export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk
And finally
source ~/.zshenv
or
source ~/.bash_profile
Then close and reopen Android Studio

Answer 7

Try these paths. It worked for my M1 mac. Make sure you have Android Studio installed.
In your terminal:
nano ~/.zshrc
Paste these paths.:
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8.0)
#SDK exporting
export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
#Tools exporting
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator:$PATH
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH
Save the file and run this command:
source ~/.zshrc
A few more things to check:
make sure you have at least one virtual device downloaded. Check it in AVD manager(Android virtual device manager)
Compare your android studio SDK manager with the following screenshots.
PS. I use ~/.zshrc. If you use ~/.bash_profile replace it accordingly.

Sometimes when we update the android plaftorm, The local.properties file is missing. To fixing this issue, We can create the file manually and add the SDK path as below.
creating the 'local.properties' file:
Project--> Platform --> android--> local.properties
Adding SDK path:
add the below line to the local.properties file.
sdk.dir=C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
After that, Import the project again to the Android Studio and proceed.
