Is this path `C:\dev\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-7/tools/“ a problem? If yes, how to modify it? aapt is located in C:\dev\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools, so why it is searched for in this location?

Answer 1

You’re using very old version of android maven plugin. In 2.8.1 paths has changed from tools to platform-tools.

Your pom should have version and name like below:

<groupId>com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2</groupId>
<artifactId>android-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.1</version>
