[ANDROID] What are the specific requirements re: Android SDK?
I am trying to solve this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2219
Tl;dr: check that user has correct minimums installed w.r.t Android SDK.
There is already something like this in place in the CLI tools for iOS.
The tools runs `xcodebuild -version` and then using semver I parse through
it to see if the minimum is installed (4.5.1).
Looking through the android implementation's read me this isn't explicitly
listed out. From experience I (think) the requirements are "download all
the targets".
Is this correct?
Can we brainstorm the specific requirements and list them out here? I want
the CLI tools to do something like (and this is rough but hopefully you
get the idea):
1. run `android list target`
2. grep through the output and determine if the user has the necessary
stuff
If we can list everything out in this thread I will do my best to codify
it.
Thanks all,
Fil

If we search for the string "Android 4.2" or "API level 17" it will catch
both the stock Android and Google entries.

Android 4.2 is coded as API level 17, so the project target has to map
with something that supports it in project.properties.
Currently we have:
Google Inc.:Google APIs:17
This tells me that no inly do they have to support Android 4.2, we
have to support Google's secret sauce as well. This should be changed
back to "android-17" unless someone can give me a good reason why we
want Google APIs specified as a dependency.

This may be wrong, but didn't the target ID have to match up to a specific
number or something?

Here it is on one line:
android list target | grep "Android 4.2"
Basically, if you have a non-zero result, you're good to go as far as
the scripts are concerned. Android's binary backwards compatible, so
as long as you support the minimum SDK and compile against the target
SDK, the user should be fine.. You only need earlier targets if you
want to test on earlier versions of Android.
