phonegap run android error

Question

Whenever I try to build a project using phonegap run, I get the below error:

C:\Users\MS AwaN\my-app>phonegap run android
[phonegap] detecting Android SDK environment...
[phonegap] using the local environment
[phonegap] adding the Android platform...
   [error] An error occured during creation of android sub-project.

                    throw e;
                          ^

Can anyone please suggest what I am doing wrong?

run `phonegap run android -d` This will give you more specific output on the error. Post some of that output here as it may be more useful than above. — Dawson Loudon, Feb 06 '14 at 22:54

I had the same problem and this fixed it. Alternately look here (which is the same but has a link to the documentation which I also missed).

It seems that phonegap 3.3 requires android sdk 19.

If you have a older one, try the following steps :

delete the platforms/android folder (as the log say "Adding the android platform", I assume you didn't perform any customisations in that folder)
use android sdk manager to install the latest sdk
retry with phonegap build android and if it fails, run phonegap -V build android to get more details on the error
