cocos2d-X doesn't find android platform

Question

I'm using cocos2d-X v3 and I created a new cocos2d-X project following this tutorial.

But when I run

cocos run -s ~/MyCompany/MyGame -p android

I get this error:

building apk
Android platform not specified, searching a default one...
Can't find right android-platform for project : "/Users/filipeferminiano/MyCompany/MyGame/proj.android". The android-platform should be equal/larger than 10

Solution 1

These tutorials cover all steps:

and

Solution 2

If

cocos run -s ~/MyCompany/MyGame -p android --ap 20

does not work (Using NDK r10b)

You can use command 'android list' to list all the available target platforms

For me, it is now:

cocos run -s ~/MyCompany/MyGame -p android --ap android-20

Solution 3

How to specify the android platform:

Use '--ap 19|20', e.g.,

cocos run -s ~/MyCompany/MyGame -p android --ap 20

Solution 4

This issue will occur when your environment variable not set properly, I suggest you to set your environment variables properly and then restart command prompt or terminal then execute cocos compile -s projectname -p android if your project compile successfully then you can run this project. hope this helps

Solution 5

In my case, I add the %ANDROID_SDK%\tools to my path, so the 'android.bat' file get accessible to cocos console. then cocos run will read the correct platform form file project.properties in your android project.

Guess this appeared after cocos2d-x 3.1. I have just installed 3.2 and your way it worked! Thank you!

I am pretty sure people all people asking have already checked those resources.

So what does you ANT_ROOT variable look like? I can't get it to work properly, mine is C:\apache-ant-1.9.5\bin.

@Moberg, I got the same path. What error are you getting?
