I have WebStorm and Android Studio installed. I have my Android SDK and Java environment variables set. I originally had this error (https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-cli/issues/685) and I fixed that by extracting the templates folder as mentioned in that post.
When I run the PhoneGap demo project in WebStorm I now get:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0.653 secs
Built the following apk(s):
/home/user/WebstormProjects/PageLoad/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-debug.apk

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
Error: android: Command failed with exit code 2
So I then run phonegap run android --verbose from the CLI and I got:
Built the following apk(s):
/home/user/WebstormProjects/PageLoad/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-debug.apk

I also tried deleting my android-24 directory from $ANDROID_HOME/Sdk/platforms and same result. That was actually the first thing I tried because rather than getting any error, running PhoneGap in WebStorm was just hanging.
PhoneGap CLI 6.4.5
node 4.5.0
npm 4.3.0
Android SDK Tools 25.3.1
Android SDK tools 25.3.1 broke cordova-android and some other libraries.
Cordova Android 6.2.1 has been released after that and it's now compatible with Android SDK tools 25.3.1, but it's not compatible with Phonegap CLI 6.4.5 and cordova-android 6.2.1. You have to update to latest Phonegap CLI 6.5.0 first.
Then you can update your current incompatible android platform with cordova platform update [email protected]
Or you can remove the existing platform and add the new one (will delete any manual change you did inside yourProject/platforms/android/ folder)
cordova platform rm android
cordova platform add [email protected]
You have to specify the 6.2.1 version because current CLI installs cordova-android 6.1.x by default.
Also, don't update Android SDK tools to 26.x.x yet because it breaks cordova-android 6.2.1
