Latest Cordova doesn't play well with latest Android Studio

Bug Report

Problem

I have just installed and updated the latest version of Android studio (3.6.1) and the latest Cordova (9.0.1).

However after installing new SDKs I've noticed that android studio no longer has the $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools/bin directory. After a bit more digging I found that I had to enable "Android SDK Command-Line Tools" in Android Studio. This then gave me the avdmanager under: $ANROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/latest/bin

However Cordova is still not happy with this and is throwing the error:

Detected 'avdmanager' command at /home/john/Android/Sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin but no 'tools/bin' directory found near.
Try reinstall Android SDK or update your PATH to include valid path to SDK/tools/bin directory.

What is expected to happen?

I would hope that Cordova could somehow work with Android Studio's changed file structure

What does actually happen?

It throws the above error and I am unable to build

I apologize that this hasn't received more attention.

cordova-android@9 is released and tested against Android Studio 4.0, so this should address your issue. Because this issue is a bit out-dated I'll be closing this. If the issue persists, a more appropriate repository for android specific issues is the cordova-android repository.
