First before you make “ionic platform add android” you have to look.

Android platform version that you have installed (Ex. api 23 MashMallow, api 22…).  
Now go to your ionic project and look config.xml

EX:  
preference value=“16” name=“android-minSdkVersion”/\> and change to de api you install.  
preference value=“23” name=“android-minSdkVersion”/\>  
put the minSdkVersion at the same version of the api you have intall.

Add the platform and build the project.  
EX: ionic platform add android  
ionic build android

If you install only 1 android platform version de minsdkVerion and the targetsdkVersion has to be the same as the api you install.
