>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Task
>          Components: Docs

> We did a document scrub and found the following issues. Please feel free to correct other things as well.
> - Android Platform Guide
> -- Install Cordova Shell tools is out of date
> -- Environment variable instructions for Windows are out of date
> -- Emulator section can just point to http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/emulator.html
> -- Lots of duplicated content for create/build/deploy from CLI page
> -- Page keeps switching between CLI and platform-centric workflow
> - Android Shell Tool Guide
> -- Second paragraph is out of date
> -- Create/build/run/logging/clean should be clear that this is the platform-centric workflow. Also duplicated in Android Platform guide
> -- Platform-centric workflow should probably just get its own explicit page
> -- Signing an app doesn't actually say how to sign an app. Gives arguments for some mystery command
> --- Does this belong in our docs? We might just mention it and point to Google's app signing instructions
> - Android WebViews
> -- Needs investigation if this is still supported.
> --- Step 1 is wrong (should be getting cordova-android by cloning or from npm)
> --- Step 3 needs to have instructions for adding jars to gradle
> --- Step 5 is out of date. CordovaActivity does not implement CordovaInterface... Think they should be extending/modifying CordovaActivity. Needs investigation
> --- Step 6 does not appear to be camera plugin specific
> --- Step 7 example is useless, it needs to be fleshed out
> - Android plugins
> -- Should be moved to plugin developer docs
> -- Need a reference for the classes that plugins have access to
> --- CordovaWebView, CallbackContext, CordovaPlugin, etc.
> --- Most already have javadoc
> -- Android Integration should be renamed and link to the Android classes it's talking about
> -- Debugging Android plugins is out of date (mentions Eclipse and jars) and should probably be fleshed out a bit
> - Android Configuration
> -- Should be a reference
> - Upgrading Android
> -- Ends at 4.0.0 (current is 4.1.1, soon to be 5.0.0)
> -- Needs to be reorganized in some way
> --- The instructions seem to be pretty much the same for versions 1.6.0 +
> -- Goes back to the phonegap days! Should probably only include Cordova versions (1.5.0 +)
> -- Upgrade to 1.8.0 from 1.7.0 repeated twice
> -- Upgrade to 1.8.0 from 1.8.0 is a typo
> General guidelines:
> - While giving examples, keep them short. Do not repeat for all plugins/platforms.
> - Remove all references to cordova plugin registry.
> - Remove Tizen references. The platform is deprecated (http://markmail.org/message/hryg6sjswecpgndu)
> - Keep information up to date for the platforms, CLI and plugins
