Error: Could not find gradle wrapper within Android SDK. Might need to update your Android SDK – Android

I just experienced the same problem.

It may be an occlusion in the instructions regarding how to install (or upgrade) Android Studio with all the SDK Tools which both you and I missed or possibly a bug created by a new release of Studio which does not follow the same file conventions as the older versions. I lean towards the latter since many of the SO posts on this topic seems to point to an ANDROID_PATH with a folder called android-sdk which does not appear in the latest (2.3.0.8) version.

There appears to be a workaround though, which I just got to work on my machine. Here’s what I did:

  • Download tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip from Android Downloads.
  • Extracted zip on desktop
  • Replaced C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools with extracted sub-folder tools/
  • In project folder:$ cordova platforms remove android
    $ cordova platforms add android

You may also need to force remove the node_modules in android. Hopefully this helps.
