Apologies for this, I misread the mailing list text at http://cordova.apache.org/#mailing-list, didn't realize that this was for development of Cordova, not developing with Cordova.

However, to support the Galaxy S 3 devices we have for test, I need API level 17. According to the Cordova docs for 3.5.0<http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.5.0/guide_platforms_android_index.md.html#Android%20Platform%20Guide>, it supports API level 10 and later. Things still worked when I added API level 17, but we noticed it was still using the API level 19. Upon removing API level 19, I get the following error executing "cordova platform add android". Error: Please install Android target 19 (the Android newest SDK). Make sure you have the latest Android tools installed as well. Run "android" from your command-line to install/update any missing SDKs or tools. at C:\Users\mscott\.cordova\lib\android\cordova\3.5.1\bin\lib\check_reqs.js:80:29 at _fulfilled (C:\Users\mscott\.cordova\lib\android\cordova\3.5.1\bin\node_modules\q\q.js:798:54) at self.promiseDispatch.done (C:\Users\mscott\.cordova\lib\android\cordova\3.5.1\bin\node_modules\q\q.js:827:30) at Promise.promise.promiseDispatch (C:\Users\mscott\.cordova\lib\android\cordova\3.5.1\bin\node_modules\q\q.js:760:13) at C:\Users\mscott\.cordova\lib\android\cordova\3.5.1\bin\node_modules\q\q.js:574:44 at flush (C:\Users\mscott\.cordova\lib\android\cordova\3.5.1\bin\node_modules\q\q.js:108:17) at process._tickCallback (node.js:419:13) Error: C:\Users\mscott\.cordova\lib\android\cordova\3.5.1\bin\create.bat: Command failed with exit code 8 at ChildProcess.whenDone (D:\projects\mobile\EMS-Mobile\node_modules\cordova\node_modules\cordova-lib\src\cordova\superspawn.js:135:23) at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:98:17) at maybeClose (child_process.js:756:16) at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:823:5) Does it, or does it not actually support earlier Android API levels? Do I have to move to an earlier version of Cordova to support API level 17? I am using this in conjunction with phonegap, but was starting with the simple command of adding a platform. I'm aware there is a preference for SDK level in the config.xml, but it didn't appear to have any affect on the cordova add platform command. I'm getting ready to add API 19 back in conjunction with the config.xml preferences in place, to see if it will compile with the right SDK tools in that scenario. Thanks! Mark E.
