HOW TO DEPLOY TO ANDROID?

Install JAVA

For Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

Install Ant

For Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install ant

Install ANDROID SDK MANAGER

cd /path/to/install/android
wget http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r23.0.2-linux.tgz
tar xvzf android-sdk_r23.0.2-linux.tgz
cd android-sdk-linux
pwd

Create variable ANDROID_HOME from $(pwd) result

export ANDROID_HOME=$(pwd)
ls -l
./tools/android

If this shows an error message, use: sudo mount -o remount,exec /tmp otherwise, it opens a small window.

Select the following required elements and click install, then accept terms:

• Android SDK Tools. This is already installed but could request an update.
• Android SDK Platform-tools.
• Any Android SDK Build-tools.
• Any Android SDK Platform (e.g. API 19). This should be the same for "android-targetSdkVersion" preference (see www/config.xml).

Now add android path to $PATH

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
cd /path/to/project

If using cordova cli

cordova build android
cordova run android

Or, if using phonegap cli

phonegap local build android
phonegap local build android

Do NOT forget to check preferences in www/config.xml

Have fun :)
