how to set set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable in mac

Question

I had set create .bash_profile file and save these lines:

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/macbookpro/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

and then enter in terminal: source ~/.bash_profile and if I enter in terminal this command: echo $ANDROID_HOME I have the correct path:

/Users/macbookpro/Library/Android/sdk

but If I run command:

ionic cordova run android

in my ionic project, I got this error:

ERROR running one or more of the platforms: Android SDK not found. Make 
sure that it is installed. If it is not at the default location, set 
the ANDROID_HOME environment variable.
You may not have the required environment or OS to run this project

what should I do!

I'm working on Linux, you should put your path to android it in ~/.bashr, but this could be helpful: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7501678/set-environment-variables-on-mac-os-x-lion — Denis Solakovic, Aug 21 '17 at 11:26
@DenisSolakovic in mac I put in ~/.bash_profile but it get me the same error — Al-shimaa Adel, Aug 21 '17 at 11:36
Did you use the command source: source ~/.bashrc, after changing the file? — Denis Solakovic, Aug 21 '17 at 11:37
This should be in your bashrc: `export ANDROID_HOME=/your/path/to/android PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools` — Denis Solakovic, Aug 21 '17 at 11:38
@DenisSolakovic: yes I did the i set path as above and use command source ~/.bashrc but the same issue — Al-shimaa Adel, Aug 21 '17 at 11:44
One more thing, I had a similar problem, using the zsh instead of bash. — Denis Solakovic, Aug 21 '17 at 11:46
Don't bother with it right now, it's just a fancy bash. It doesen't have anything to do with the problem you're facing — Denis Solakovic, Aug 21 '17 at 11:48
Try to re-download both tools and platform tools into another directory, and then setup your bashrc directly in bashrc file, not bash_profile, although it has to work in both — Denis Solakovic, Aug 21 '17 at 11:50
@DenisSolakovic is it true to create the both files I didn't find any of them so I touch them and write my variables? — Al-shimaa Adel, Aug 21 '17 at 11:59
Bashrc should exist, try reading this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22502759/mac-os-x-10-9-setting-permanent-environment-variables — Denis Solakovic, Aug 21 '17 at 12:02
Another useful thing (that is when you get this sorted out) is to set: export PATH=$PATH:/your/path/to/android/gradle/bin — Denis Solakovic, Aug 21 '17 at 12:05
@DenisSolakovic I used the both files and set the variables there, I type nav command in the terminal and I found my ANDROID_HOME=/Users/macbookpro/Library/Android/sdk & PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/macbookpro/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools:/Users/macbookpro/Library/Android/sdk/tools:/Users/macbookpro/L — Al-shimaa Adel, Aug 21 '17 at 12:10
@DenisSolakovic is that line correct: export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools ? — Al-shimaa Adel, Aug 21 '17 at 12:11
