keytool is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

 If it is your first time learning to build android project, you may find an issue when try to generate a private key. This message keytool is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. may occur if the path of your java sdk has not been set globally.

There are two options you can do, the first easy option is by set the path of sdk java globally so you can run any executable file from the bin java folder. Click the window button and type in Environment Variables in the search program field bar.

A popup window will appear, there will be a button called Environment Variables

.

Click this button and look for the Path value in the System variables panel and then click the edit button. Enter your java sdk location at the end of the path value. Once you add this you should be able to use the keyword keytool.exe. For example the path of java SDK install can be like this.

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin

There will be a list of path entered this field, so make sure before you enter the path for the java sdk you enter a semicolon first.

The second option is to directly point the path of the keytool to java sdk installation folder, which in this case would be: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin.

Hopefully this helps for everyone that want to try developing mobile using Ionic and Cordova.

Thanks

(gradle-2.13-all)-Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.13-all.zip

  Answer: There are some simple steps to fix the error. 1)  find and open  platforms\android\cordova\lib\builders\GradleBuilder.js  file with text editor. Find the line var distributionUrl = process . env [ 'CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL' ] || 'http\\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.13-all.zip' ; then change  http  to  https  in this line as follows: var distributionUrl = process . env [ 'CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL' ] || 'https\\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.13-all.zip' ; then save the file. 2)  Check installed jdk versions and install  jdk 1.8  if not installed. Then if the  JAVA_HOME  environment variable is anything but  1.8  open  tools->options->Tools for Apache Cordova->Environment Variable Overrides  in Visual Studio, check the  JAVA_HOME  checkbox and select the java 1.8 folder like follows: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_241 then run build it will work.

LetsLearn JavaScript

Image
Overview Most programming languages contain good and bad parts, but JavaScript has more than its share of the bad, having been developed and released in a hurry before it could be refined. This authoritative book scrapes away these bad features to reveal a subset of JavaScript that's more reliable, readable, and maintainable than the language as a whole-a subset you can use to create truly extensible and efficient code. Considered the JavaScript expert by many people in the development community, author Douglas Crockford identifies the abundance of good ideas that make JavaScript an outstanding object-oriented programming language-ideas such as functions, loose typing, dynamic objects, and an expressive object literal notation. Unfortunately, these good ideas are mixed in with bad and downright awful ideas, like a programming model based on global variables. When Java applets failed, JavaScript became the language of the Web by default, making its popularity almost completely ind

Cordova App for Publishing to an App Store - Steps by Steps (https://docs.microsoft.com/)

Image
When you build an application for deployment to an emulator, simulator, physical device or the Cordova Simulate browser, you're building a version of the application specifically crafted for local testing of the app. The app is usually built with debug information packaged into the executable, and the app is signed with a signing key which allows it to work on your local device, but not on any device. Before you can build your application for deployment to any device through a public app store, you must first configure Visual Studio with the information it needs to complete the process of packaging and signing the application for deployment through an app store. In this article, you'll learn how to configure a project for deployment and create a deployment package for each target platform: Android iOS Windows Android Applications For Android applications, preparing your environment for publishing, and publishing the app requires that you complete the following steps: Modify App
