+After running the above command, the resulting package.json looks like :

+```bash
+"cordova": {"platforms": ["android",]},"dependencies": {"cordova-android":
"~4.0.0"}

+The '--nosave' flag prevents adding and deleting specified platforms from
config.xml and package.json. To prevent saving a platform, you issue the
following command :
+
+```bash
+$ cordova platform add <platform[@<version>] | directory | git_url>
--nosave
+```
Some examples :
- * **'cordova platform add android --save'** => retrieves the pinned
version of the android platform, adds it to the project and then updates
config.xml.
- * **'cordova platform add android@3.7.0 --save'** => retrieves the
android platform, version 3.7.0 from npm, adds it to the project and then
updates config.xml.
- * **'cordova platform add
android@https://github.com/apache/cordova-android.gitâ --save'** => clones
the specified cordova-android git repository, adds the android platform to the
project, then updates config.xml and point its version to the specified git-url.
- * **'cordova platform add C:/path/to/android/platform --save'** =>
retrieves the android platform from the specified directory, adds it to the
project, then updates config.xml and point to the directory.
+ * **'cordova platform add android'** => retrieves the pinned version of
the android platform, adds it to the project and then updates config.xml and
package.json.
+ * **'cordova platform add android@3.7.0'** => retrieves the android
platform, version 3.7.0 from npm, adds it to the project and then updates
config.xml and package.json.
+ * **'cordova platform add
android@https://github.com/apache/cordova-android.gitâ'** => clones the
specified cordova-android git repository, adds the android platform to the
project, then updates config.xml and package.json and points its version to the
specified git-url.
+ * **'cordova platform add C:/path/to/android/platform'** => retrieves
the android platform from the specified directory, adds it to the project, then
updates config.xml and package.json and points to the directory.
+ * **'cordova platform add android --nosave'** => retrieves the pinned
version of the android platform, adds it to the project, but does not add it to
config.xml or package.json.
+ * **'cordova platform remove android --nosave'** => removes the android
platform from the project, but does not remove it from config.xml or
package.json.
### Mass saving platforms on an existing project
-The '--save' flag described above is only useful when you remember to use
it during the platform addition.
