failed to find target with hash string 'android-26' in: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\AndroidSDK\25

You are getting the below issue, which is build error from android cordova application

* What went wrong:

> failed to find target with hash string 'android-26' in: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\AndroidSDK\25

It is happening as you have not installed the particular image which your application is pointing to. You are missing the image where your android SDK is present as 

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\AndroidSDK\25

You are having the android SDK version mentioned in Build.Gradle as like below.

ext {     apply from: 'cordova.gradle'     cdvCompileSdkVersion = 26 //privateHelpers.getProjectTarget()     cdvBuildToolsVersion = privateHelpers.findLatestInstalledBuildTools() }

cordova "no java files found that extend cordovaactivity"

Getting Error as:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error No Java files found which extend CordovaActivity. OilFreeRecipes 1

This issue is causing due to missing of MainActivity.Java File Generally it is residing on the below path.

[Application Name]\platforms\android\src\com

Here it should have the folder name based on the namespace you have given. Suppose I have given namespace as com.passion.oilfreerecipes So there should have folder passion --> OilfreeRecipes
