Missing Gradle in Android SDK (using cordova + ionic)

Question

Yep, i searched about this but nothing, just things about the ANDROID_HOME path, but in my case i don't think this is the real problem. When i try to do ionic build android i get this error:

Error: Could not find gradle wrapper within android sdk. Might need to update yo ur Android SDK. Looked here: C:\Android\sdk\tools\templates\gradle\wrapper

And found that in C:\Android\sdk\tools i dont have "templates" folder, just this:

I see gradle wrapper only in this path C:\Android\sdk\temp\ToolPackage.old01\templates\gradle\wrapper

Why i don't have Gradle in my sdk folder? i am missing something? in SDK manager i have this installed:

Thanks in advance

I think problem is with cordova version. Try to update it and re add platform. — Hardik Vaghani, Jul 12 '16 at 05:11

Had exactly the same problem. This thread points out the reason behind it, and this one actually shows what to do.

In short:

in Android Studio uninstall Android SDK Tools
Download tools_r25.2.3-yourOPsystem.zip from Android Downloads. Basicly same thing, older version.
insert downloaded extracted tools folder in Android/sdk/ folder
(MAC: /Users/username/Library/Android/sdk/tools
Win: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools)
In project folder run:

$ cordova platforms remove android

$ cordova platforms add android

This is totally different, the question is from 2015 and this problem is new. The questions you link are for the new problem and your fix too. – jcesarmobile Mar 22 '17 at 08:21
You are indeed correct about it. So anyone who is looking for a fix for 2015 problem, should keep looking, others may find relief here. – ejke Mar 27 '17 at 13:20
for those who don't have android studio but just the sdk manager tool, type in "sdkmanager tools" what you need will be installed – KitAndKat Apr 29 '17 at 17:56

You need to update ANDROID_HOME variable to point the android-sdk folder https://stackoverflow.com/a/32507036/344895

I tested upgrade cordova to version 6.5 and extract tools SDK. Nothing helps. In my case I have Android Studio installation.

SOLUTION: Please find file gradle-wrapper.jar in your Android Studio installation (in may case ..\Android Studio\plugins\android\lib\templates\gradle\wrapper\gradle\wrapper\ ). Then copy whole directory templates to SDK location in subfolder tools.

Set ANDROID_HOME to the SDK Path displayed in your Android SDK Manager. The default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk if you didn't change it.
