Cordova Android build fails with the message "Ant command failed"
Issue
-
When building a Cordova app for Android, the build fails and the studio presents the following error:
[Ant command failed]
-
If the app name starts with a number, further investigation of the logs by the operations team will result in finding an error similar to the following:
[javac] /... /project/platforms/android/src/com/feedhenry/fh123Test/123Test.java:25: <identifier> expected [javac] public class 123Test extends CordovaActivity
