How do I set the Android bash path in ZSH?

Question

Looking through the Cordova Android docs, I see this line

You need to add the path to your Android SDK platform-tools and tools directory. In my example I will use "/Development/android-sdk-macosx" as the directory the SDK is installed in. Add the following line:

export PATH=${PATH}:/Development/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools:/Development/android-sdk-macosx/tools

How do I set that up in ZSH?

Solution

I use this:

PATH=$PATH:"$HOME/Documents/Android/SDK/platform-tools"

Previously I had to use this to work (when I re-installed the OS X and Zsh, the problem disappeared):

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:$HOME/Documents/Android/SDK/platform-tools"

I have a .zshrc where my paths are set. I added the line there and it throws an error when I start my terminal (it's sourced on startup). I think it has something to do with quotation marks.

What is the error?

[dearborn]

Weird. No more error, but when I which adt it says it's not found.

Figured it out. Had to add $HOME to the beginning of each segment. Also, the path for the SDK is wrong. mac-x86_64/sdk/platform-tools:$HOME/Development/adt-bundle-m‌​ac-x86_64/sdk/tools

@jjlin In Ubuntu 19.10, I create .zshenv as u said and wrote what I wrote in .bashrc to make it work, "export PATH=${PATH}:/home/pranav/platform-tools_r29.0.5-linux/platf‌​orm-tools". But it didn't worked.
