Ionic can't find ANDROID_HOME on Windows 10

Question

Im using Ionic to build an Android app and I'm finding a problem that I cant work around or find an answer to. When I run ionic build android or ionic emulate android I get the following:

Error: Failed do find 'ANDROID_HOME'...

I believe I have added the correct variables to PATH and ANDROID_HOME under System Variables, but please check: https://i.sstatic.net/LmGPW.jpg

The first image is ANDROID_HOME, the second shows where the sdk is located, the third is the Error itself and the fourth is my path variable.

I run it from Git Bash. Running as an administrator did not make any difference, I also tried reinstalling Android SDK (with Android Studio) in a different folder (was in %HOME%\AppData\Local\Android\ before) without any difference. Also tried to reboot after reinstalling SDK.

I also tried to run the SDK Manager first (C:\Android\sdk\tools\android.bat) and keeping it open while trying to build or emulate, but it still didn't work.

Answer 1

You need to create a new system variable called ANDROID_HOME and as a value put the path to the android SDK installation directory.

For more information, please refer to the installation guide.
