So,
If I have android API 19 installed, everything works fine, I can execute the
command "cordova platform add android". However, to support the Galaxy S 3
devices we have for test, I need API level 17. According to the Cordova docs
for
3.5.0<http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.5.0/guide_platforms_android_index.md.html#Android%20Platform%20Guide>,
it supports API level 10 and later.
Things still worked when I added API level 17, but we noticed it was still
using the API level 19. Upon removing API level 19, I get the following error
executing "cordova platform add android".
Error: Please install Android target 19 (the Android newest SDK). Make sure you
have the latest Android tools installed as well. Run "android" from your
command-line to install/update any missing SDKs
or tools.

Does it, or does it not actually support earlier Android API levels? Do I have
to move to an earlier version of Cordova to support API level 17?
I am using this in conjunction with phonegap, but was starting with the simple
command of adding a platform. I'm aware there is a preference for SDK level in
the config.xml, but it didn't appear to have any affect on the cordova add
platform command.
I'm getting ready to add API 19 back in conjunction with the config.xml
preferences in place, to see if it will compile with the right SDK tools in
that scenario.
Thanks!
