Reuse Java and Android SDK from Android Studio on Mac for Cordova.

Android studio is a very good Java-based IDE for developing and testing Android applications. It works as a stand-alone application. You download IDE, install it without explicit dependencies. You download an Android SDK and run on the emulator. So Android Studio provides many tools to build, run applications on different emulators.
Android SDK is based on Java SDK it can not work with Java SDK. So Java SDK is provided with the studio. There is a possibility to reuse another SDK. An interesting case appears when you start to use other tools for development like Cordova. There are a lot of articles on how to run Cordova. But almost all of them ask to install and set Cordova dependencies. It is very easy to be confused. I prefer to reuse Android studio tools for Cordova. This time I am developing on Mac. So I'll show settings for Mac.

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
export GRADLE=$HOME/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-6.1.1-all/cfmwm155h49vnt3hynmlrsdst/gradle-6.1.1/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/emulator:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools:$GRADLE
export JAVA_HOME=/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home

Using from Android SDK by Cordova from CLI it asks for licenses.

sdkmanager --licenses

And build an application by Cordova

cordova build android

Small analyses:

Android studio is installed(placed) into

/Applications/Android\ Studio.app

Java SDK is placed inside Android Studio

export JAVA_HOME=/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home

It installs Android SDKs into a shared place

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk

Package assembler is installed by and works globally taking settings from the home directory.

export GRADLE=$HOME/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-6.1.1-all/cfmwm155h49vnt3hynmlrsdst/gradle-6.1.1/bin
