I even changed ant to ant.bat at one place, android to android.bat at two places in ruby script. I also set target_id = 1 which is for 1.5 sdk.

In framework/default.properties updated target=android-3 Still getting this eror and I googled finding nothing but a hint suggesting that 2.2 might cause this problem so deleted that as well from android sdk manager

Answer 1

I dont know if you used the old scripts or the new ones, but I found success with the new scripts.

take a look at the latest stuff posted on git hub

http://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-android

I would also suggest looking in the PhoneGap Google Group where others have had similar problems

Answer 2

I found solution myself it turned out to be android sdk. I downloaded all the available sdks from android sdk manager and its working now. One more thing i observed is that in libs folder the phonegap.jar in output built the size is 0kb, I copied the phonegap.jar file created after succesful run of droidgap script in framework folder. Now I am able to run the app in emulator!

Try compiling with ruby 1.9.1 . It created the jar file for me. The framework has some issues with ruby 1.9.2
