Builds the project for Android and produces an APK that you can manually deploy on device or in the native emulator.

### Options

    * --compileSdk - Sets the Android SDK that will be used to build the project.
    * --release - If set, produces a release build. Otherwise, produces a debug build. When set, you must also specify the --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-path - Specifies the file path to the keystore file (P12) which you want to use to code sign your APK. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-password - Provides the password for the keystore file specified with --key-store-path. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-alias - Provides the alias for the keystore file specified with --key-store-path. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-alias-password - Provides the password for the alias specified with --key-store-alias-password. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --static-bindings - This is an experimental feature. If set, generates static bindings from your JavaScript code to corresponding native Android APIs during build. This static bindings speed up app loading.**
    * --copy-to - Specifies the file path where the built .apk will be copied. If it points to a non-existent directory, it will be created. If the specified value is directory, the original file name will be used.

** By default, NativeScript runtime for Android uses runtime binding generator. When you extend a Java class and overwrite a lot of methods, this could be a potentially slow operation.

### Attributes
<API Level> is a valid Android API level. For example: 22, 23.

Hi @gordonpro
This is really strange, may I ask you to navigate to platforms/android directory inside your project and execute
gradle buildapk -PcompileSdk=android-23 -PtargetSdk=23 -PbuildToolsVersion=23.0.1 -PsupportVersion=23.1.1 2>out.txt
Also I've noticed you are using node 5.1.0, which is not verified as supported, so I cannot guarantee everything will work as expected. The verified versions of nodejs are 0.10.40, 0.12.7 and 4.2.x

[gordonpro]

@rosen-vladimirov
It works fine. navigated to platform/android.
The reason may be gradle cannot find the build.gradle file when tns build android execute.

[rosen-vladimirov]

Hi @gordonpro ,
I've noticed you've closed this issue, may I ask you for more details what caused the problem on your side, so other users can use it as a reference in similar case?

[gordonpro]

I don't know, I followed the Get Started of nativescript.org. and one step by one step.
When I execute tns build android. it results the problem.

[RusEu]

delete platform/android directory and than run another time tns build android . it should work

[ricardoorellana]

I discovered the cause is when you have not installed gradle, I executed the command @rosen-vladimirov mentioned #1214 (comment) , then I checked the .txt file it generates:

zsh: command not found: gradle

If you get that message you will need to install gradle:

And that fix the problem!
