FYI - Android working

[Dan Debrunner <dj...@debrunners.com>]

FYI - I just built the release target and suffered though getting a 
simple Edgent application working on Android.

While the process isn't easy, the Edgent android jars are working on 
Android, so thanks to Dale et al who worked on getting them through the 
gradle build process.

Just as a reference I found my old instructions:

That’s good news!  sans the suffering part :-)

a) can you document the process?
b) where should that documentation go?  E.g., edgent_overview.html (which is incorporated into the javadoc index.html) has a Building Applications section.  It doesn’t currently seem to say anything about java8 vs 7 vs android.  Maybe it should refer the reader to another location?

Related, in the “release management guide” that I’m working on, there’s a section of validating the release and I’ve already got a “???” placeholder related to the android platform :-)
