Stuck at the first hurdle

ionic-v1

I’m trying to emulate android using ionic framework’s “ionic emulate android” command.

But it throws an exception…

 [aapt] Generating resource IDs...
 [echo] ----------
 [echo] Handling BuildConfig class...
 [buildconfig] Generating BuildConfig class.

I have the latest versions of JRE and JDK installed… in my System Variables;

JRE_HOME:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre8

Does anybody have a clue as to what could be causing this issue? Thank you

Sorry, no Android skills here.

Have you tried it on a non-Ionic app just to see if your development environment is setup properly? I think these are the right steps:

cordova create fakeApp com.me.fakeApp "FakeApp"
cd fakeApp
cordova add platform android
cordova build android
cordova emulate android
3

The equivalent command is just ‘cordova build’, this replicates the error above… unfortunately knowing this isn’t helping me google the error either :confused:

Hey,

My ant was in need of an update. So that issue is now resolved but it just opened up another one…

 debug:
