Solution: # Aidl not found, please install it | Ubuntu | Buildozer

ERROR:

# Check that aidl can be executed

# build-tools folder not found /home/raviteja/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-24/build-tools
# Search for Aidl
# Aidl not found, please install it.

SOLUTION:

1. Above error says build-tools folder is not found. I checked in my /home/raviteja/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-24/ and build tools folder is not available really.
2. Launched Android SDK Manager to install the build tools. To launch it we need to cd to /home/raviteja/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-24/tools and execute ./android. Do not use sudo ./android as it gives you permissions issue later.
3. Make sure you check the following check box in Tools --> Options of Android SDK Manager and close it.
4. 
5. Check the Build tools option and install it (you might need to accept the license)
