An unexpected error occurred: ANDROID_BIN="${ANDROID_BIN:=$( which android )}" exited with 1 Deleting project... - PhoneGap

I was trying to create a new android project via command line in Mac and I got: "An error occurred: ANDROID_BIN="${ANDROID_BIN:=$( which android )}" exited with 1 Deleting project..."

Following was the command I used in Terminal to create a new Android PhoneGap Project. This works for iOS but not for Android.

 ./create ~/Desktop/MyPhoneGapApp com.companyname.myphonegapapp MyPhoneGapApp  

And I got an error as follows.

 An unexpected error occurred: ANDROID_BIN="${ANDROID_BIN:=$( which android )}" exited with 1 Deleting project... -  

Most probably this occurs because path to "tools" and "platform-tools"of the the Android SDK is not set to the PATH.

To fix this you should open the bash profile. Enter the following command in the terminal

 open ~/.bash_profile  

Now you will see the .bash_profile opened in the Text Editor. Enter the following line to your .bash_profile, save and close the file. Make sure to edit the following code to use the correct path of yours.

 PATH=$PATH:/Users/myaccount/Documents/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64/sdk/platform-tools:/Users/myaccount/Documents/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64/sdk/tools  

You should execute your .bash_profile to update your PATH.  Enter the following command in Terminal

 source ~/.bash_profile  

Now close and reopen your Teminal. Navigate to the bin folder of Android PhoneGap and enter the following command to create a PhoneGap Android Project.

 ./create ~/Desktop/MyPhoneGapApp com.companyname.myphonegapapp MyPhoneGapApp  

Done :)
