Cordova error after Windows reinstallation

I'm facing some issue compiling an app in Cordova.
Basically after a Windows re-installation I re-istalled Android Studio, NPM and Cordova but when I try to run an application (I tried with the application I was working on before the OS re-installation and even with the "basic" Cordova app) Cordova give me "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException" (rest of the error below).
I've installed Gradle manually "C:\src\gradle-5.6" and set the environment variable (before Windows re-istallation I didn't installed it manually and it was working) and tried even to download and configure via env. varible the same version on the
\platforms\android\cordova\lib\builders\ProjectBuilder.js file, which is 4.10.3 but still the same error.

Did anyone else faced this issue and managed to solve it?

I reply by myself to this in case someone faces the same issue.
I just downgrade java (JRE and JDK) from 221 to 212, rebooted the pc et voilá, it works again.

ionic cordova build android - daemon build error, where to find APK?

I'm dying trying to figure this out!
Essentially, I've finished up an Ionic app and am ready to publish it to the Google Play Store. The problem is that I'm having trouble following the directions posted on the Ionic Framework website.
So far, I've created an 'android' folder under 'platforms'.
Error thrown:
Android Studio project detected
ANDROID_HOME=C:\Users\fromf\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\java\jdk1.8.0_191
studio
Subproject Path: CordovaLib
Subproject Path: app
Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong:
Unable to start the daemon process.
This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.
Please refer to the user guide chapter on the daemon at https://docs.gradle.org/4.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html
Please read the following process output to find out more:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 2097152KB object heap
Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

(node:43720) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: cmd: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
My various attempts:
Firstly, that I cannot seem to find the 'build' folder referenced at 'platforms/android/build/outputs/apk'. It simply does not exist.
Having recognised that I'm lacking the 'build' folder, I attempted to change the environment variables according to this website: http://www.tiagoporto.com/blog/environment-setting-tutorial-ionic-android-on-windows/. This did not work.
I followed the directions given on various SoF Q&As, and manually downloaded the needed gradle, called "gradle-2.2.1-all.zip". Still did not work.
I am at my wits ends. Please please please help!

After creating a new project using cordova and then trying to add android platform I'm getting following error:

I uninstalled JAVA(JDK,JRE), Andorid Studio, Cordova CLI and reinstalled them. After that I'm getting same error. I tried removing whitelist plugin and it throw build error with exit code 1. How to solve this ?

Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have
set up your Android development environment:
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/android-setup.html
I have searched and all i have seen so far are genymotion user solutions.
Any idea on how to fix this?

Oh, i found the error, the zip file in
/home/webshinobis/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-2.4-all/6r4uqcc6ovnq6ac6s0txzcpc0/gradle-2.4-all.zip
was corrupt that's y it could not be unzipped by the java.
So I have to go into the folder and delete the zip file mannualy and then run
react-native run-android
again. Hope that helps someone else. This is usually due to internet connection issues.

Set your ANDROID_HOME environment variables. Check your adb devices first. If your device is available. See the cyprusglobe suggestion.
Run:
- chmod 755 android/gradlew
- react-native run-android

Android Studio not compiling

I'm having an issue that's taking me since yesterday morning to figure it out with no success. I'm really desperate right now to solve this.
In the log console, at the bottom of the Android-Studio window I get this error:
Error: Gradle: Execution failed for task':MyApplication2:mergeDebugResources'.
>java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/home/user/.local/android-studio/sdk/build-tools/android-4.2.2/aapt": error=2, No such file or directory
But happens that the file is there. I've done some research with no success. I'm taking so much time on this. I don't know why this should be wrong. I'm on Linux.
Please help me resolving this issue.
EDIT:
On Processing IDE the exact same error happens:
