Ant gaves me an error Build xml doesn't exist

Question

I'm trying to debug a Java Android app but when I type ant debug on the command line I get:

Buildfile: Build.xml doesn't exist

I'm using Ant 1.9 but it does not include Build.xml. How can I solve this problem?

Can you provide more information like what computer language you are using and maybe a look at your code? — Warren Dew, May 09 '14 at 18:15

@user3621396 If your project doesn't have a `build.xml` file then why are you trying to use Ant to do *anything*? You might want to read some Ant docs before going much further. — Dave Newton, May 09 '14 at 19:06

From the directory containing the project, run the "android update project" command to create the build.xml file (plus some others). For example:

E:\Develop\AccelerometerPlay> android update project --path . --target android-19

Make sure that the target platform in installed in the SDK manager.
