Did you happen to see this guide?
https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Platforms/Android/GettingStarted/1/index.html

The part you care about is installing the SDK. If you already have ant installed then you can look into this page:

The key line in your log is here:
LogPlayLevel: Program.Main: ERROR: ERROR: Unable to find ant.bat (via %ANT_HOME% or %ANDROID_HOME%/…/eclipse/plugins/org.apache.ant*

You need to have your environment variable specified correctly for ant… ANT_HOME is what you want

How to set ANT_HOME ? It’s already be added by AndroidWorks-1R1-windows.exe. It works when running ant with cmd. I really how I should do it now.

Hi Jieke,

Yes, ANT_HOME should be set for you by AndroidWorks installer and should be set to something like C:\NVPACK\apache-ant-1.8.2. The ant.bat is in the bin directory there.
