Using the android sdk(adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130729), appiumforwindows+0.8.3, when ran an appium test on android emulator with selendroid capability, it gave "aapt" not found error, so copied the aapt.exe&lib to platform-tools folder in sdk dir. this error got fixed but giving error, "original error: platform doesnt exist android-4.2"
i understand it could be selendroid/android issue; really appreciate if anyone can suggest any thoughts to fix this error..
I ran into the same problem some time ago, the solution for me was to install the Java SDK and the Android ADT-Package into a location without any blanks.
Before it was on "C:\Program Files...", which caused Appium to not find the aapt.exe, although the ANDROID_HOME and the Path Variables were set correctly. I found a hint about that somewhere on the Appium Github.
If you use selendroid directly, lately improvements especially for Windows has been added.
The support for blanks in folder names is build in the current version 0.7.0: https://github.com/selendroid/selendroid/releases/download/0.7.0/selendroid-standalone-0.7.0-with-dependencies.jar
