An unexpected error occurred: ANDROID_BIN="${ANDROID_BIN:=$( which android )}" exited with 1

With PhoneGap, everytime I try to create a new Android project from the terminal, I get this annoying error:

An unexpected error occurred: ANDROID_BIN="${ANDROID_BIN:=$( which android )}" exited with 1

Luckily, this workaround always seems to work for me:

source ~/.bash_profile

After sourcing my bash profile, then re-running the create command, it completes successfully.

Here are my typical project create commands, the error always comes after the first ./create attempt, then sourcing the bash profile, and re-running the ./create command fixes it:

cd ~/Desktop/phonegap-2.7.0/lib/android/bin
./create ~/Desktop/phonegap-code/MyProject com.mycompany.myproject MyProject
source ~/.bash_profile
./create ~/Desktop/phonegap-code/MyProject com.mycompany.myproject MyProject

Please note that the ~/Desktop/phonegap-code/MyProject direct SHOULD NOT exist before running the create command, or else you may run into problems.

I was under the impression ~/.bash_profile was supposed to be automatically sourced when you log in, but maybe not? Who knows, who cares? As long as it works, whatever.
