Answer 1

The problem is PATH wrongly defined on .bash_profile.

What i have done for this.

1. Change the path on bash profile open ~/.bash_profile. Then the bash profile open in a text editor.
2. Add the correct path to android SDK. If we have android studio then the path is /Application/Android Studio.app/sdk/ so we need to add this path to .bash_profile. export PATH=${PATH}:/Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk/tools
3. Then close all terminal and open again and code... :)

You can check that is working or not via typing android on terminal.
