How to add Android to Phonegap Platforms version 3


After much digging, i believe that this problem is related to me not having any platforms added for phonegap to build from. This is missing from their documentation.

When i trying to add a platofrm phonegap

Running code

C:\var\www\sexdiaries.co.uk\sexdiaries>phonegap platform add andriod
   [error] 'platform add andriod' is not a node C:\Users\Hutber\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_m
 See 'node C:\Users\Hutber\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\phonegap\bin\phonegap.js help'

Platforms

Platforms:

  keyword            | local environment | remote environment
  -------------------|-------------------|-------------------
  android            | ?                 | ?
  blackberry         | ? (BlackBerry 10) | ? (BlackBerry 6)
  ios                | ?                 | ?
  symbian            | ?                 | ?
  webos              | ?                 | ?
  wp7                | ?                 | ?
  wp8                | ?                 | ?

Solution

  • For some reason, you can't add platforms in an obvious way so i found this:

    You need to add platform to work with, whilst the documentation is so very very poor:

    Command

       phonegap build android
    

    build

    C:\var\www\sexdiaries.co.uk\sexdiaries>phonegap build android
    [phonegap] detecting Android SDK environment...
    [phonegap] using the local environment
    [phonegap] adding the Android platform...
     [warning] missing library cordova/android/3.0.0
    [phonegap] downloading https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-android.git;a=snapshot;h=3.0.0;sf=tgz...
    [phonegap] compiling Android...
    [phonegap] successfully compiled Android app
    

    Then you are good to go, doing an import with Andriod Studio will also work now as you have a project to work with :)

    Fantastic.
