Ionic Android Platform Build Fails

Question

Every time I try to build my Android platform on ionic, I am greeted by an error indicating that my JAVA_HOME is invalid, while it points to the correct path, as shown below. I tried to remove and re-add the platform and re-add the paths to the environment variables, but nothing works. I have been trying to fix this error for several days. Please, help!

Entrance:

ionic build android 

Conclusion:

 [Error: Failed to run "java -version", make sure that you have a JDK installed. You can get it from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads.

Answer 1

Have you checked if the JAVA_HOME that it refers to exists? Open a command prompt and type: "%Java_home%/bin/java" -version to see what you get. If you get something other than Java version information, you need to check and update the system variable for JAVA_HOME in the Windows environment variables.

Answer 2

I had a similar problem,

in my case, I installed JAVA_HOME=\Java\jdk1.7.0_45 , and my actual installed version was << 21>.

So, check the installed version of jdk1.7.0_75
