Unable to locate android build tools in the specified location (Oracle ADF Mobile)

If you are facing the error while deploying the Mobile app on the Andriod emulator and the error message says "Uable to locate android build tools in the specified location" in the Platform-tools Folder then the Andriod SDK version that you are trying to install on your local machine has the required files moved to the Build-tools --> 17.0.0 folder. To make it work you need to follow the following steps.

1. Open the Command Prompt as "Run As Administrator".
2. In the Commpand promt execute the Following commands

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

C:\>mklink c:\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools\aapt.exe C:\AndroidSDK\sdk\build-tools\17.0.0\aapt.exe

Once you are done with the above setup then you can try deploying Your mobile app to Andriod Emulator.
