Error when build Ella, "java.lang.RuntimeException: The executable 'android' is not in the path" about ella HOT 2 CLOSED

You need to edit the <path_to_ella>/ella/runtime/GuessDefaultSettingsTask.java file.
You need to set the file path hard, because the dynamic reading doesn't work for everyone..

Your new file have to look like this:

import org.apache.tools.ant.*;
import org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.*;

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class GuessDefaultSettingsTask extends Task
{
	public void execute() throws BuildException
	{
		String sdkPath = findAndroidSDKPath();
		String btPath = getProject().getProperty("ella.android.buildtools.dir");
		if(btPath == null){
			btPath = findAndroidBuildToolsPath(sdkPath);
			System.out.println("path to build-tools directory: "+btPath);			
		}
		File dxPath = new File(btPath, "dx");
		if(!dxPath.isFile())
			throw new Error("The configuration variable android.buildtools.dir is probably not set correctly. Current value is "+btPath);
		getProject().setProperty("ella.android.buildtools.dir", btPath);
		String androidJarPath = getProject().getProperty("ella.android.jar");
		if(androidJarPath == null){
			androidJarPath = findAndroidJarPath(sdkPath);
			if(androidJarPath == null)
				throw new Error("Could not automatically infer path to android.jar. Set ella.android.jar variable in the .settings file.");
			getProject().setProperty("ella.android.jar", androidJarPath);
		}
	}
	
	String findAndroidSDKPath() 
	{
		File sdk = new File("/Users/nicoostendorf1/Library/Android/sdk");
		return sdk.getPath();
	}

	String findAndroidBuildToolsPath(String sdkPath)
	{
		File buildToolsDir = new File("/Users/nicoostendorf1/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/25.0.0");
		return buildToolsDir.getPath();
	}

	String findAndroidJarPath(String sdkPath)
	{
		File jarfile = new File("/Users/nicoostendorf1/Library/Android/sdk/platforms/android-25/android.jar");
		return jarfile.getPath();
	}
}
