cygwin cannot find android

Question

Hi I'm following an android tutorial on ndk (Hello-jni) and I am trying to run the following command within cygwin

 android update project -p . -s

but I get the following message:

 -bash: android: command not found

I am new at this and I assume this is because cygwin isn't hooked up properly to Android but I do not know how to fix this. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

You need to set your path, so that cygwin knows where to find the android program.

In here, see the line that says,

set PATH=E:/android/android-sdk-windows/tools;E:/android/android-ndk-r5b

Thanks Yusuf but I have actually seen this before and tried going through it but it is a little complex and I didnt quite understand

I added the specific line you need to the answer.

It says android_ndk_r5b is a directory?

the address is for wherever you installed Android. it might be android_sdk_version instead of android_ndk_version, but yeah.

Your android program may also be in E:/android/android-sdk-windows/tools, but probably isn't. See where that program is installed and set PATH to point to that.

SET:

export ANT_HOME=`cygpath –u “$ANT_HOME”` export JAVA_HOME=`cygpath –u “$JAVA_HOME”` export ANDROID_SDK=`cygpath –u “$ANDROID_SDK”` export ANDROID_NDK=`cygpath –u “$ANDROID_NDK”`

in your .bash_profile in cygwin_path\home{username}
