+### Android Quirks
+The default API level in the Cordova Android platform has been upgraded. On an Android 9 device, clear text communication is now disabled by default.
+
+By default HTTP and FTP etc. will refuse the apps requests to use cleartext traffic. The key reason for avoiding cleartext traffic is the lack of confidentiality, authenticity, and protections against tampering; a network attacker can eavesdrop on transmitted data and also modify it without being detected. You can learn more about the `android:usesCleartextTraffic` or any other android application elements setting in the [documentation for Android developers](https://developer.android.co [...]
+
+To allow clear text communication again, set the `android:usesCleartextTraffic` on your application tag to true in `config.xml` file:
+```xml
+<platform name="android">
+ <edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application">
+ <application android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" />
+ </edit-config>
+</platform>
+```
+
+And also you need to add Android XML namespace `xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"` to your widget tag in the same `config.xml`, like so:
+`<widget id="io.cordova.hellocordova" version="0.0.1" android-versionCode="13" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
+</widget>`
+
+### Android Manifest Information
+
+You can learn more about the Android manifest information in the [documentation for Android developers](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro).
