Cordova Environment for Android on Windows

When creating Cordova projects, probably the most difficult part is the initial set up.
This video covers the required installs and how to add the proper Environmental variables on Windows for Android app development.

Note:
JDK version 9.x or higher will cause problems with Cordova 7.x or higher.
Stick with using JDK 8.

You should show how to install the things. I installed what you listed: Android Studio, JDK, and Node. How ever when I put javac -version it is not recognized, nor adb and nor any or the other things...

hey steve i did all whats on the video but I keep getting this error:

Failed to find 'ANDROID_SDK_ROOT' environment variable. Try setting it manually.
Detected 'adb' command at C:\adb but no 'platform-tools' directory found near.
Try reinstall Android SDK or update your PATH to include valid path to SDK\platform-tools directory.

I setup environment variables for first project and that project works fine. But second project build not working. Do I need to setup environment variables again?

Hi, after installing android studio. On cmd/terminal it says node and npm and Cordova is not a recognisable command internal and external. And then I uninstalled android studio and it works again. All paths are correct. Please help.

This is a strange one ... Have you ever had an issue trying to run the emulator when connecting to monitors and extending screens?

When I do this, the emulator will boot up, but the screen is "empty" (I can see right through to whatever is behind it). If I unplug my laptop, the emulator runs fine.
