> I do have the Android SDK installed, and I don't know whether it is set up
> properly in order for cordova to find it. I followed installation
> instructions which, by the way, are extremely convoluted (every documentation
> page tells you there is a requirement that you needs to install first and
> links you to another page and these links eventually lead to a loop).
> If the exception above is supposed to be telling me that the Android SDK
> cannot be found, then that's not the proper way of informing me of that. A
> more meaningful error message should be given (if that is the cause of the
> exception).
