Please follow this steps in order to build for Android

BUILD FOR SIMULATOR

  1. Open Terminal and type the following command in order to compile the project for android

    ../../../tools/cocos2d-console/bin/cocos deploy -p android

    [your project path]/cocos2d/tools/cocos2d-console/bin/cocos compile -p android

    Once the compilation is done your apk file will be located inside

    [your project path]/proj.android/bin

     If this is your first time doing this it will ask for the path to ndk, android sdk and apache ant.
 
 Download ndk from here: https://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html
 Download android sdk from here: https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
 Download the apache ant from here: http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

 Follow the on screen instruction to set the paths.

    Next you will need to copy the apk file on the simulator or on the device.

  2. Launch Android Simulator by opening Terminal and typing [your android sdk path]/tools/android avd

     Install a simualtor if none is present or run one of the available simulator
 
 After you have installed a simulator you can also type this command to directly lauch that simulator. Dont forget to add @ in from of the name.
 
 [your android sdk path]/tools/emulator @yourSimulatorName

  3. Once the simulator is running (takes a while to start), copy the apk file by typing in this command in Terminal.

    [your android sdk path]/platform-tools/adb -e install [your project path]/proj.android/bin/[your apk file name].apk

  4. See logs by typing this command in a Terminal window

    [your android sdk path]/platform-tools/adb logcat
