    It's recommended to install Android Studio at Android Platform Guide - Apache Cordova.

    Installing the Requirements

    • Java Development Kit (JDK)

      Install Java Development Kit (JDK) 8. JDK 8 is installed automatically by Android Studio.

    • Gradle

      As of Cordova-Android 6.4.0, Gradle is now required to be installed to build Android. Manual
      installation of Gradle is not required because Gradle comes bundled with Android Studio.

    • Android SDK

      Install Android Studio. It's not necessary to install Eclipse too because Android SDK is installed by Android Studio.

      System Requirements for Android Studio

      • 3 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB RAM recommended; plus 1 GB for the Android Emulator
      • 2 GB of available disk space minimum, 4 GB recommended

    • Adding SDK Packages

      After installing the Android SDK, you must also install the packages for whatever API level you wish to target. It is recommended that you install the highest SDK version that your version of cordova-android supports (see Requirements and Support).
