Error Building Android App with Cordova

android cordova phonegap-desktop-app
AeJey picture AeJey · Aug 20, 2016 · Viewed 7.1k times · Source

I created a project with phone gap with simple login and was working fine with the phonegap developer app on mobile.

When I tried to build the android app using the command

cordova build android

I am getting the following error

Error: Source path does not exist: www/res/screen/android/drawable-land-xxhdpi-screen.png

When I checked the path mentioned in the error message, I the file was not there. Instead drawable-land-xhdpi-screen.png was there. So I just duplicated the file and renamed it to drawable-land-xxhdpi-screen.png and then I tried to build again with the command

cordova build android

and I got the same error again. And when I checked the path again, the file I added seems to be not there anymore.

Please help me solve this issue and build the app.

I've just had this issue and was able to fix this by doing 2 things :
1. remove all of this from your config.xml

(So there is no reference to images in config.xml anymore, and instead use cordova-icon, which makes life so much easier)

  1. get the android API v23 (using the Android SDK Manager ($ android))
