When I run the ionic capacitor run android command, to launch my application in Android Studio, I get the error saying:
Unable to launch Android Studio." You must configure "linuxAndroidStudioPath" in your capacitor.config.json to point to the location of studio.sh, using JavaScript-escaped paths:
example:
{
"linuxAndroidStudioPath": "/usr/local/android-studio/bin/studio.sh"
}
but I configured the path my capacitor.config.json but the error persists.
Here's my capacitor.config.json file
First, run whereis android-studio in your terminal. This command will return the path of your android studio.
Mine is /snap/android-studio/current/android-studio/bin/studio.sh. I installed android-studio from the ubuntu software store. Maybe you installed it through a different source and in a different location.
Then add "linuxAndroidStudioPath": "/snap/android-studio/current/android-studio/bin/studio.sh" in capacitor.config.json which is located in the root of your project.
Replace /snap/android-studio/current/android-studio/bin/studio.sh by your path. which is returned to you by whereis android-studio
"linuxAndroidStudioPath": "/snap/android-studio/current/android-studio/bin/studio.sh" is the path.
Add sudo when running the project sudo npx cap open android
in my case, android studio location was "/opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh"
{
...
"linuxAndroidStudioPath": "/opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh"
}
I use JetBrains Toolbox and macOS
to open the capacitor project with Android Studio with npx cap open android I had to export the Android Studio path as follow:
export CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH="/Users/myuser/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/AndroidStudio/ch-0/201.7199119/Android Studio.app"
Set environment variable--
Step1- Run: nano ~/.bashrc in terminal.
Step2- Add export CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH="path of android-studio/bin/studio.sh" in .bashrc file.
Step3- Run npx cap open android in terminal.
I have the same issue and I didn't manage to find out why it can't verify the path for android studio.
In order to use npx cap open android i had to open Android Studio before running the command.
Open your terminal and run gedit .bashrc.
Set the environment variable:
export CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH="path of android-studio/bin/studio.sh"
Save your file with Ctrl+s.
This will read your capacitor directly by running
Ionic cap open android
All of the answers here are on point, however I would like to add something small to note.
Its worth noting that Android Studio has different installation locations depending on the distribution you are using and also some installations are command-line based others are offline installations.
Some well known places are:
/usr/local
/usr/share
/opt
Lastly whereas the commands to search for android-studio may work in some instances where the default installation path was not changed. However the command
whereis android-studio
will not return anything in a case where the directory name is not the default i.e
/opt/android-studio-2021.2.1/android-studio/bin/studio.sh"
or
/usr/local/android-studio-2021.2.1/bin/studio.sh"
Here's how I solved this: In Ionic 6x, there's no capacitor.config.json. You'd have to set an environment variable of CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH globally. Do this by typing
export CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH=/path/to/android-studio/studio.sh
Worth noting that my Android Studio is found at /opt/android-studio/bin and not under /snap/...
Everything looks correct so the likely answer is that you have got the path wrong somehow.
Could you recheck it?
Also, are you running the latest versions of everything?
I installed Android Studio on Linux Mint 17.2, but when I open up a terminal window and echo $GRADLE_HOME, nothing is set. Should it be set? If it should be, how would I find where it is located so I can manually set it myself?
Thx
The Gradle installed via Android Studio will only be available only within Android Studio. I may be wrong here, since I never used Android Studio. However, if you want Gradle available outside of Android Studio you may have to install manually. Check out the Gradle Documentation. Once you installed set the Gradle home in /etc/environment file (There are several files in which you can set this, but this is my preference since it makes the variable available to all users). Add the installation location to that file. You may choose to install in a different location.
GRADLE_HOME=/usr/local/gradle-2.13
After you add add bin location to PATH variable. Eg:
PATH=...:$GRADLE_HOME/bin
Since you are adding the GRADLE_HOME in /etc/environment file you may have to restart your PC after adding.
The Android Studio zip bundles gradle. After unpacking the zip it is located in android-studio/gradle/gradle-x.x/bin (assuming the unpack directory is android-studio). In my case with Android Studio 3.1 the gradle version was gradle-4.4
so setting GRADLE_HOME to /path/to/unpackdir/gradle/gradle-4.4 should work.
Then add $GRADLE_HOME/bin to your path and you should be set.
You might have to chmod +x gradlew (for example if you use cordova and want to install a plugin)
I'm trying to install PhoneGap and I'm getting the following error:
Error: ANDROID_HOME is not set and "android" command not in your PATH. You must fulfill at least one of these conditions.
Error (screenshot)
What do I do to ensure Android is set up correctly for use with Cordova?
For Windows:
set ANDROID_HOME=C:\ *installation location* \android-sdk
set PATH=%PATH%;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools
Taken from this installation guide.
For Mac OS X:
export ANDROID_HOME=/<installation location>/android-sdk-macosx
export PATH=${PATH}:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
I have MAC OS X Yosemite, Android Studio 1.0.1, JDK 1.8, and Cordova 4.1.2
When I tried to add the android project:
cordova platforms add android
I received the message:
ANDROID_HOME is not set and "android" command not in your PATH
Based in cforcloud's answer...
'Error: the command "android" failed' using cordova
and
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=studio
I used the following:
export ANDROID_HOME="/Users/<user_name>/Library/Android/sdk"
export ANDROID_TOOLS="/Users/<user_name>/Library/Android/sdk/tools/"
export ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS="/Users/<user_name>/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/"
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME:$ANDROID_TOOLS:$ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS
echo $PATH
When I tried to create the android project, I received this message:
Creating android project...
/Users/lg/.cordova/lib/npm_cache/cordova-android/3.6.4/package/bin/node_modules/q/q.js:126
throw e;

Error: Please install Android target "android-19".
I ran Android SDK Manager, and installed Android 4.4.2 (API 19) (everything but Glass Development Kit Preview). It worked for me.

This is the content of my .bash_profile file.
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8`
launchctl setenv STUDIO_JDK /library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk
export ANDROID_HOME="/Users/<UserName>/Library/Android/sdk"
export ANDROID_TOOLS="/Users/<UserName>/Library/Android/sdk/tools"
export ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS="/Users/<UserName>/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools"
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME:$ANDROID_TOOLS:$ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS
To edit .bash_profile using Terminal, I use nano. It is easy to understand.
cd
nano .bash_profile
I hope it helps.
for windows:
Right click on My computer -> properties -> Advanced system setting -> Environment Variables
Edit Path on system variables to ;\yourSdkHome\tools;\yourSdkHome\platform-tools.
Then Close your cmd prompt and reopen.
On Linux, add this to the end of your .bashrc, .profile or appropriate file for your shell:
export ANDROID_HOME=/home/youruser/whatever/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platforms-tools
Please notice that these environment variables will be available for newly created shells, not the already open.
Using Android Studio on Windows the system variables settings have changed a little.
You still have to add a system variable ANDROID_HOME, but pointing to the directory containing the android SDK usually installed in C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\android-studio\sdk.
You also need to add the following to the Path system variable:
;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;
Taken from: https://github.com/simnova/webdevdocs/wiki/Installing-PhoneGap-and-Android-Studio-on-Windows
SDK Path also be in C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
This is what I just tried to make it work. I was in:
os x Yosemite version 10.10.2
cordova version 4.2.0
android studio 1.0.1
Java SE Development Kit 7
set path:
# on ~/.zshrc file (open a text editor)
export ANDROID_HOME="/Users/<user>/Library/Android/sdk/"
export ANDROID_TOOLS="/Users/<user>/Library/Android/sdk/tools"
export ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS="/Users/<user>/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools"
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME:$ANDROID_TOOLS:$ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS
reopen terminal
install "android-19" from android SDK manager
$ android
# pick "SDK Platform Android 4.4.2, API 19"
and then go to a Cordova-based project directory
$ ionic platform add android
Android path set in linux:
$export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/lib/android-sdk-linux
$export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
$export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platforms-tools
than
$cordova run android
In Linux,
edit .bashrc file and add the ANDROID_HOME and PATH variable,
export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/android-sdk-linux/
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platforms-tools
After saving .bashrc file, run
source ~/.bashrc
then in type
android in a terminal
if it will run, ANDROID_HOME and PATH is set,
if you get this message,
bash: /src/android-sdk/tools/android: Permission denied
then run
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/android-sdk-linux/tools/android
otherwise you will get same error message
Error: Android SDK not found. Make sure that it is installed. If it is not at the default location, set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable.
NB: Use your android sdk installation path instead of /usr/local/android-sdk-linux/
For Windows I just had to add an env variable pointing to the SDK folder. Done!
(The accepted answer didn´t work for me)
Only one change was needed to fix the problem:
Go to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced(tab) -> Environment Variables -> System Variables
set ANDROID_HOME to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
ANDROID_HOME is deprecated now instead of using ANDROID_HOME use ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
as per Google android documentation -
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT sets the path to the SDK installation directory. Once set, the value does not typically change, and can be shared by multiple users on the same machine. ANDROID_HOME, which also points to the SDK installation directory, is deprecated.
If you continue to use it, the following rules apply:
If ANDROID_HOME is defined and contains a valid SDK installation, its value is used instead of the value in ANDROID_SDK_ROOT.
If ANDROID_HOME is not defined, the value in ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is used.
If ANDROID_HOME is defined but does not exist or does not contain a valid SDK installation, the value in ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is used instead.
For details follow this Android Documentation link
I had to close and re-open my windows console (or open a new console), and then open the SDK manager (ran android), after which a bunch of updates and installs had to complete.
For those who are working with Ionic Framework on windows and doesn't have andorid studio installed on their PCs, you must have either download Android Studio or at list download the SDK Manager.
If you choose the SDK Manager option you have to set the path for the Enviroment Variable:
Variable name: ANDROID_HOME, Variable value: the path where you installed the android SDK, in my case is, C:\Android\android-sdk.
You have to add the variable to the Path variable system by adding this:
;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;.
Then if you got the "JDK error" just download it from the Oracle website and create a system variable like the Android SDK:
Variable name: JAVA_HOME, Variable value: the path where you installed the JDK, in my case is, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144. Then add it to the Path variable system by adding ;%JAVA_HOME%\bin.
Then if you got the "Gradle error" just fallow the installations steps on the official website of gradle.
Finally you can continue to creating your ionic app's apk.
Note: you have to reopen the cmd window several times or restart your pc after making those changes. Hope this work for you.
Using Android Studio on Mac, run this on your terminal:
export ANDROID_HOME=/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/sdk/
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platforms-tools
Then, when you type
android
at your terminal, it will run something
You just need to type a command in flutter_console.bat type flutter config --android-sdk <path-to-your-android-sdk-path>
Go to system properties.
Click change setting.
Click advance tab.
Click Environment Variables button.
In system variables area click new button.
Set ANDROID_HOME in the Variable name field.
Set C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk in the Variable value field.
Click ok button.
Double click Path variable in the list.
Click new button.
Past C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools in the filed.
Click new button again.
Past C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools in the field.
Press enter 3 times.
That's all you need to do.
The main reason of this would be the path ( ANDROID_HOME ) is not set in appium. You can confirm that by checking the last step first
step 1 :- Checkout the path where android sdk is located
it could be in c drive/program files or below location mostly
C:\Users\yourUserName\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
Step2 :- Set the System variables . By typing in search bar in window (you can open this window for setting system variables)
Last step :- To confirm the problem will not repeat verify this, Open appium click on edit configuration and confirm if you can see the path set
It's is mostly with missing andriod SDK. for this issue and "JAVA_HOME" error following solution worked for me... whole day saved after following steps.
To build and run apps, you need to install SDKs for each platform you wish to target. Alternatively, if you are using browser for development you can use browser platform which does not require any platform SDKs.
To check if you satisfy requirements for building the platform:
$ cordova requirements
Requirements check results for android:
Java JDK: installed .
Android SDK: installed
Android target: installed android-19,android-21,android-22,android-23,Google Inc.:Google APIs:19,Google Inc.:Google APIs (x86 System Image):19,Google Inc.:Google APIs:23
Gradle: installed
Requirements check results for ios:
Apple OS X: not installed
Cordova tooling for iOS requires Apple OS X
Error: Some of requirements check failed
By the way, one other possibility is that you do have a too old version of cordova android platform.
Error: Android SDK not found. Make sure that it is installed. If it is not at the default location, set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable.
Then:
cordova platform update android --save
if Linux users still have the same error, probably they have used "sudo" for adding android platform.. a quick solution for this here, or you have installed cordova using sudo, also there is a solution for this problem here.
Hope this help!
I also faced this same issue, I got a solution with this.
I did the following steps :
Open system properties
Environment variables
create a new system variable
name: ANDROID_HOME
value: copy your SDK path( Ex: my SDK path E:\SoftWares\Android-SDK)
close your current cmd, and restart it
run flutter doctor
this should work on windows
I encountered this error and I had to set the ANDROID_HOME using bash_profile.
Then run the source ~/.bash_profile before running appium from terminal.
You can set the ANDROID_HOME variable from inside Visual Studio as well:
Go to Tools->Options->Cross Platform->C++ and enter the path under Android SDK.
If nothing else works, make sure that you have correct permissions and ownership set up during building. A quick fix can be:
sudo chown -R <you>:<your_group> *
sudo chmod -R 755 *
I am trying to install Rhodes for Android application development. I installed rhodes gem (version 3.2), Android SDK latest release and Android NDK (latest). I run "rhodes-setup" and gave the installation path of Java, Android SDK and NDK. When i try to run "rake run:abdroid" for a sample rhodes applocation, it shows as
"WARNING!!! Path to Android NDK contain spaces! It will not work because of the G
oogle toolchain restrictions. Move it to another location and reconfigure rhodes."
I moved to another location and tried a another version of NDK ( revision 6 and 6b). But still having error. Could please point out what i am doing wrong?
Thank u.
Make sure there are no spaces in the path, like the error message suggests.
Bad NDK Path
C:\Program Files (x86)\android-ndk-r4\
Good NDK Path
C:\source\sdks\android-ndk-r4\
Update the path to the NDK in the Rhodes build configuration files. Try running "rhodes-setup" again and pointing it to your new NDK path.
Just move your NDK folder to your root folder. I have it like this:
C:\android-ndk-r5b
Remember to configure rhodes setup after you have made this change and before running your program. You do this by running:
$ rhodes-setup
on the command prompt while in your app folder.
