raragao · November 26, 2018, 2:02pm

Do you install all requirements?

I think that works in linux or mac is better than windows.

david, i followed above meteor guide and added all requirements.
Please check below content after adding meteor add-platform android, after successfully adding platform.

raragao · November 26, 2018, 2:44pm

You are trying run-device, but I think this not works fine. Try build only.

meteor build

raragao · November 27, 2018, 3:53pm

JDK installed is greater than 8 in fact i have tried using the latest version.
still i am unable to solve this

I think that you need put " " in your path, because it has space. My advice, never put space in your folders and files, if you is a software developer.

Here are my notes-to-self about how to build an Android APK in Meteor which have worked for me on Windows 10:

github.com

edemaine/coauthor/blob/master/INSTALL.md#android-app

# Installing a Coauthor Server

## Test Server

Here is how to get a **local test server** running:

1. **[Install Meteor](https://www.meteor.com/install):**
   `curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh` on UNIX,
   `choco install meteor` on Windows (in administrator command prompt
   after [installing Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install))
2. **Download Coauthor:** `git clone https://github.com/edemaine/coauthor.git`
3. **Run meteor:**
   * `cd coauthor`
   * `meteor npm install`
   * `meteor`
4. **Make a superuser account:**
   * Open the website [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/)
   * Create an account
   * `meteor mongo`
   * Give your account permissions as follows:

This file has been truncated. show original

Your 'android' is not recognized error suggests you didn’t set the path as in those notes.

Definitely don’t use spaces in the build path, as in the example in my notes, or enclose them in double quotes.

Hope this helps!

You can check what versions of Android Studio and Gradle? You download Android SDK build-tools and accept license? Because it is ask this.
