How to add Android to Phonegap Platforms version 3

Question

After much digging, i believe that this problem is related to me not having any platforms added for phonegap to build from. This is missing from their documentation.

When i trying to add a platofrm phonegap

Running code

C:\var\www\sexdiaries.co.uk\sexdiaries>phonegap platform add andriod
   [error] 'platform add andriod' is not a node C:\Users\Hutber\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_m
 See 'node C:\Users\Hutber\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\phonegap\bin\phonegap.js help'

Platforms

Platforms:

  keyword            | local environment | remote environment
  -------------------|-------------------|-------------------
  android            | ?                 | ?
  blackberry         | ? (BlackBerry 10) | ? (BlackBerry 6)
  ios                | ?                 | ?
  symbian            | ?                 | ?
  webos              | ?                 | ?
  wp7                | ?                 | ?
  wp8                | ?                 | ?

For some reason, you can't add platforms in an obvious way so i found this:

You need to add platform to work with, whilst the documentation is so very very poor:

Command

   phonegap build android

build

C:\var\www\sexdiaries.co.uk\sexdiaries>phonegap build android
[phonegap] detecting Android SDK environment...
[phonegap] using the local environment
[phonegap] adding the Android platform...
 [warning] missing library cordova/android/3.0.0
[phonegap] downloading https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-android.git;a=snapshot;h=3.0.0;sf=tgz...
[phonegap] compiling Android...
[phonegap] successfully compiled Android app

Then you are good to go, doing an import with Andriod Studio will also work now as you have a project to work with :)

Fantastic.

Needing my own SO questions over and over again :0

Thanks for discovering this. The phonegap documentation is very poor and still refers to all the Cordova commands which are not valid.

Have you added ant to your paths? Have you got ANDROID_HOME in your path pointing to your SDK folder?

I would google this :) its not too difficult, but you'll need a guide with images if you've never done it before.

phonegap build android didn't work for me but didn't output any error messages. However phonegap local build android did output what the error was.

your command is like this "phonegap platform add andriod"

But it is android, not andriod

you need to change andriod to android.

For anyone else still having problems, I found that using the run command works as well.

Run will build and then deploy to your device or emulator :)

Actually you might have them ready and working but on windows there is an ACSII bug... instead of showing ✔ and ✖ it shows ?.
