Cordova 3.5.0 Install Error- Please Install Android Target 19

Question

I try to get this working and it's driving me nuts:

$ cordova platform add android

The output is:

Creating android project...

/Users/doekewartena/.cordova/lib/android/cordova/3.5.0/bin/node_modules/q/q.js:126
                    throw e;
                          ^
Error: Please install Android target 19 (the Android newest SDK). Make sure you have the latest Android tools installed as well. Run "android" from your command-line to install/update any missing SDKs or tools.

If did run the command android this are all the things I installed:

I also did:

open ~/.bash_profile

And added:

export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/doekewartena/Documents/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk/platform-tools:/Users/doekewartena/Documents/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk/tools

But it doesn't help :(

Could someone help.

Android SDK is not your target Android version. Target Android version 19 is the API level for android Kitkat.So in you SDK manager check if you have Android 4.4.2(API 19) installed. If you want your target API version to be different then change it in ANdroidManifest.xml

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="16"
    android:targetSdkVersion="18" />

Edit these lines. Here android:targetSdkVersion is your Android version that you are targeting.
