it means mobile is not attached with your computer to run the build. you can find that built apk in android platform…
or in mobile usb debugging is not enabled

ok yes u r right will check with android studio thanks buddy
one more thing my code is like this
register() {
this.sqlite.create({
name: ‘data.db’,
location: ‘default’
})
.then((db: SQLiteObject) => {
db.executeSql(‘create table danceMoves(name VARCHAR(32))’, {})
.then(() => console.log(‘Executed SQL’))
.catch(e => console.log(“after then catch”+e));
})
.catch(e => console.log(“in catch”+e));
}

when I am calling register function its throwing this error
Angular is running in the development mode. Call enableProdMode() to enable the production mode.
Native: tried calling StatusBar.styleDefault, but Cordova is not available. Make sure to include cordova.js or run in a device/simulator
Native: tried calling SplashScreen.hide, but Cordova is not available. Make sure to include cordova.js or run in a device/simulator
Native: tried accessing the SQLite plugin but Cordova is not available. Make sure to include cordova.js or run in a device/simulator
cordova_not_available
just want to know this also will get resolved by emulator or this is diffrerent

are you trying it in browser if yes then it works only in device. bcs most of plugins are device dependent. about emulator i never tried

ok thanks gautam will check now

Can’t help, but:
Please use the </> button above the post input field to format your code or error message or wrap it in ``` (“code fences”) manually. This will make sure your text is readable and if it recognizes the programming language it also automatically adds code syntax highlighting. Thanks.

I’m also having the same problem, When compiling or constructing using ionic cordova command.
This I get in console

Run the same command with --verbose at the end and post the output of ionic info.

Run the command that says

ionic cordova build android --verbose

I sorry for my english, I speak spanish.

No problemo, si tu comprendes que yo describe… and that’s it for my Spanish today :wink:

Try cordova build android --verbose directly, without the ionic in front. And also please run ionic info and post the output here.

Gracias , por tener paciencia para entenderme :slight_smile:

Damn, that also didn’t give useful output :frowning:

Ok, then only thing left to do is for you to post your ionic info output you get when executing it in your project directory.

I forgot to mention
I’ve created a new ionic application
and the same problem , when run the same command

Find out that another has the same problem:

Your ionic info please…

How did you install Android SDK? Android Studio or manually?

i installed with Android Studio.
In fact I recently updated my version of sdk
you mean this?

global packages:

    @ionic/cli-utils : 1.3.0
    Cordova CLI      : 7.0.1
    Ionic CLI        : 3.3.0

local packages:

    @ionic/app-scripts              : 1.3.7
    @ionic/cli-plugin-cordova       : 1.3.0
    @ionic/cli-plugin-ionic-angular : 1.3.0
    Cordova Platforms               : android 6.2.3
    Ionic Framework                 : ionic-angular 3.3.0

System:

    Node       : v6.10.1
    OS         : Windows 7
    Xcode      : not installed
    ios-deploy : not installed
    ios-sim    : not installed

Yes, thank you. But didn’t really help, I have no idea what could cause this.
