cordova:open --platform android seem to expect a .project file that isn't generated by cordova.

The culprit seems to be this:

https://github.com/isleofcode/ember-cordova/blob/656daed5b0d877e1354b94fb7dd29ee05005690c/lib/tasks/open-app.js#L26

It's not created by cordova:prepare or cordova:build --platform android. My best guess is that it's an Eclipse specific file https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/Global/Eclipse.gitignore#L15

@kitsunde same issue. @alexblom can you please check?

This is definitely an error / broken IDE assumption. Until it is fixed, your best solution is to either pop open the IDE manually, or run ember cdv run --platform=android --device

Perhaps silly newbie question: how does one "pop open IDE manually"? In Android studio it wants me to create new, open or import, so I imported [root-project]/ember-cordova/cordova/platforms/android ... which seems to work. However, when I try to run, it opens "select deployment target" dialog, claiming the APK supports only ", all, armeabi-v7a" not x86 -- yet I see that cdv:build did build ...build/outputs/apk/android-x86-debug.apk. Can you explain where Android studio is getting the path to the APK among the confusing plethora of configuration files? :)

EDIT Ok -- I found the "build variants" tab in the IDE, which seemed to work, though I worry that changing configuration with the IDE will cause the ember-cordova command line tools to stop working (IDE wanted me to upgrade gradle, which did cause problems so had to start over... also I had to downgrade the studio installed sdk to android-tools-25.2.3 to get "tools/templates"... ). However emulator still fails; starting from command-line using just cordova ("cordova run") show that I am hitting https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14294 since I have docker installed. I realize this is all 3rd-party compatibility issues, but I do wish the documentation would explain issues up-front as it claims to do. Now looking for a good workaround as docker is part of my dev environment....

This was finally rectified in 0.4.8.

@shaunc Re: issues, happy to take documentation issues - we kind of assume Android env setup outside of this project but are discussing ways to make that easier now we have a stable cli. Have you worked through the Cordova Env setup guides? https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/index.html

I'm closing this issue as it resolves the named concern, feel free to create one if something else comes up.
