------------------------------------

             Summary: build.xml in Android SDK directory is not found when new SDK installed or project moved to another computer
                 Key: CB-6727
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6727
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Android
    Affects Versions: 3.4.0
         Environment: Windows 8.1 (possibly other operating systems as well)
            Reporter: Ceyhun Can ÜLKER
            Priority: Minor


When I moved my project to another computer my cordova project stopped building. Error was due to the imported ant buildfile of Android SDK was not found. I saw that local.properties file in platforms/android folder contains a fixed path, and thought that if I comment it out, sdk.dir would be taken from environment; but it wasn't the case. After extensive searching and looking through verbose output, I found out that platforms/android/CordovaLib contains another properties file. After changing the path there problem solved.

My suggestion to this problem would be that, since these are generated file and not really meant to be changed, defaults should remain in those files but they should be overridden by environment variables. I guess this would solve this portability issue with respect to development environment.
