   This is the Android Studio solution for a native app. Thanks. But not my problem. It's about the compiled App (apk) from Cordova. There is a file `config.xml` with the property `android-minSdkVersion`. This should do this job. But the Cordova compiler does not respect this configuration. 
   
   You mean I have to load the Android project from `platforms/android` into the Android Studio and set the properties? But I don't want to modificate ("hack") the Cordova sources (platform). This should be a non tracked resource (gitignore). Cordova **have** this setting for "Min SDK Version", but it does not work. I think this is a bug. 
   
   I could set the `minSdkVersion` in the file `AndroidManifest.xml`.
   
   ```xml
   <uses-sdk
     android:minSdkVersion="19"
     android:targetSdkVersion="22" />
   ```
   
   Not tested, but I'll try it as workaround. btw. there are several AndroidManifest.xml files. 
   I don't know which file is the correct file. If I change a file I get erros like: 
   
   ```text
   Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 19 cannot be smaller than version 22 declared in library [:CordovaLib] %PROJECT%\platforms\android\CordovaLib\build\intermediates\manifests\full\debug\AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 19
           Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 19,
                   or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 22,
                   or use tools:overrideLibrary="org.apache.cordova" to force usage (may lead to runtime failures)
   ```
   Ok, maybe this is not the correct file. I'll try as successive approximation. ...
   Anyway this feature has to be work from Cordova `config.xml`!
