Braden Shepherdson commented on CB-5338:
----------------------------------------
It's not "really" required, but we hard-code needing the latest API installed.
The CLI was not in wide use the last time there was a new Android API version,
so I'm not sure what we did last time. I have a feeling we should make this
code more flexible. At any rate, we should change the harcoding to point at 18.
> Is android api lvl 17 really required to add an Android platform?

> Key: CB-5338
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5338
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android, App Hello World, CLI
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0
> Environment: Windows 7 X64
> Reporter: Rick Gommers
> Labels: android, api, platform, sdk
>
> Situation: I have re-downloaded my ADT bundle from developer.android.com
> This bundle comes with the Android api lvl 18 pre-installed.
> I have updated everything that needs an update, but I have not installed any
> new SDK's.
> Question: Upon executing the command: 'cordova add platform android' I get
> the following error:
> C:\cordovaprojects\test>cordova platform add android
> Checking Android requirements...
> [Error: Please install Android target 17 (the Android 4.2 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.]
> Is it really nescessary to have Android api lvl 17 installed? I want to limit
> the time for our users to set everything up, so it would be helpful if we
> could use the Api lvl 18 that comes preinstalled with ADT bundle.
> Thx in advance!
