Android Target Device not found, unable to run project

I have a rooted Android tablet running 4.2.2 but I am unable to do “ionic run android --target=”. It says:

ERROR running one or more of the platforms: Target '<device ID>' not found, unable to run project

I changed my androidmanifest.xml to have a target API of 17. Am I missing something? Or is it because my tablet is rooted? It is a third party tablet from China.
