Android SDK is not installed or is not configured properly, environment looks ok.

First of all, I am very new to Nativescript. I am in the process of trying to set it up on windows 10. I have all the tools installed as far as I can tell and have made sure my android environment is setup. When I type android at the cli I get the sdk manager and have them installed (sdk build tools etc).

Java is at version 1.7.0_55 on my box and that seems fine. What is not fine is that Nativescript insists my ANDROID_HOME is not set or is invalid.

I have run a doctor script which I include (attached) log.txt

I looked at the first error which was adb help and I ran that command directly from the same shell I got the following output from adb.exe

adbout.txt

The reason I am filing this issue is because I receive an errror when trying to add a platform using

tns platform add android

When I issue this command I get the following message:

The ANDROID_HOME environment variable is not set or it points to a non-existent directory. You will not be able to perform any build-related operations for Android.

This appears not to be the case. And so I am filing an issue as I cannot add the android platform to my app.

I have the same problem, on mac 😦

Not sure if this helps anyone but I had the same issue on Linux (Ubuntu) after issuing:

sudo npm install nativescript -g --unsafe-perm

However, in the end I realised it was my environment variables not being carried forward to sudo. Once, I added:

Defaults env_keep += "ANDROID_HOME JAVA_HOME"

to the bottom of /etc/sudoers it worked perfectly.
