Setup 'ANDROID_HOME' to run Ionic app on Android device

Question

I am trying to install Ionic in my Linux and trying to check how to run the app. I have successfully installed it and run it on browser.

However, I want to run the app on my Android device.

I have tried to run the command ionic cordova run android --device but it gives following error:

(node:11992) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: CordovaError: Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable. Try setting it manually. Detected 'adb' command at /usr/bin but no 'platform-tools' directory found near. Try reinstall Android SDK or update your PATH to include valid path to SDK/platform-tools directory. at /home/seven-bits-pc11/myApp/platforms/android/cordova/lib/check_reqs.js:287:27 at _fulfilled (/home/seven-bits-pc11/myApp/platforms/android/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:854:54) at self.promiseDispatch.done (/home/seven-bits-pc11/myApp/platforms/android/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:883:30) at Promise.promise.promiseDispatch (/home/seven-bits-pc11/myApp/platforms/android/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:816:13) at /home/seven-bits-pc11/myApp/platforms/android/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:877:14 at runSingle (/home/seven-bits-pc11/myApp/platforms/android/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:137:13) at flush (/home/seven-bits-pc11/myApp/platforms/android/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:125:13) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:150:11) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:705:11) at startup (bootstrap_node.js:193:16) (node:11992) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection.

In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

I have also tried this solution, but same error is displayed.

Edit:

I have also tried this other solution.

I solved it by correcting the path of ANDROID_HOME as it was mentioned in the links in the question. links: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36201240/8730233 and https://stackoverflow.com/a/41137754/3342570.

So, I changed it

export ANDROID_HOME=/<installation location>/android-sdk-linux

to

export ANDROID_HOME=/<installation location>/

and my error solved.

By seeing your error we can say straight forward there is problem with your Android SDK setup.

Download latest Android SDK from official site.

You can setup ANDROID_HOME path variable to /sdk-installation-directory/ by adding line in ~/.profile or ~/bashrc files on linux system

export ANDROID_HOME="/sdk-installation-directory"
