Ionic Build failed with an exception(build tool not found)

Question

I ran this command ionic cordova run android but it gave this error: build tool not found. When I run android studio the build function runs properly without any errors. I just can't understand what to do. Even I removed the platform folder and add this but the error does not change. I have

Windows10
Ionic 3.5
node-v6.11.1-x64
emulator: API 25

The given error is:-

Running command - failed!

[ERROR] Cordova encountered an error.
        You may get more insight by running the Cordova command above directly.

[ERROR] An error occurred while running cordova build android (exit code 1):

     FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
        * Where:
        Script 'E:\wamp64\www\nutricity\platforms\android\CordovaLib\cordova.gradle' line: 64

        * What went wrong:
        A problem occurred evaluating root project 'android'.
        > No installed build tools found. Install the Android build tools version 19.1.0 or higher.

        * Try:
        Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

If its says that, it means that the system: 1 : It really really really did not found build tools

2 : To make him find build tools you need to define these paths correctly

People have experience this before and possible solutions could be found here: ionic build Android | error: No installed build tools found. Please install the Android build tools

Solution that worked for me:

Right click This PC(My computer)
Click Properties
Go to Advance System Settings
Click Environment variables
Inside System Variable find Path and Edit It
Insert three 4 paths: SDK, Build tools, Platform tools, Platform

(Default path if you have not changed)

C:\Users[Your Username]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
C:\Users\Saddam Khan\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\build-tools
C:\Users\Saddam Khan\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools
C:\Users\Saddam Khan\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform
