+categories: announcements
+tags: news releases
+---
+
+We are happy to announce that `Cordova Android 7.0.0` has been released!
+
+With this release, we have changed the default project structure for Android
projects. People who currently use the CLI and treat everything in the
platforms directory as a
+build artifact should not notice a difference, however this a major breaking
change for people creating standalone Cordova Android projects. This also
means that the locations
+of files have changed and have been brought in line to the structure used by
Android Studio.
+
+## Major Changes include:
+ * Support for Java 1.8 language features in Cordova Plugins
+ * CordovaInterface now has a Context getter so that contexts can be retrieved
without an Activity
+ * Cordova can now build for x86_64, arm64 and armeabi architecture when
building plugins that use the NDK
+ * The minimum Android API version supported is now API Level 19
+ * Due to the directory structure change, we no longer support in-line
upgrading, bringing us in line with iOS
+ * ANT builds are no longer supported and the functionality has been removed.
+
+To upgrade:
+
+ npm install -g cordova
+ cd my_project
+ cordova platform remove android
+ cordova platform add android@7.0.0
+
+To add it explicitly:
+
+ cordova platform add android@7.0.0

pending feedback
+* Adding the Studio Builder to build a project based on **Android** Studio,
and deleting Ant, since Google does not support Ant Builds anymore. Sorry guys!
Review comment:
@janpio The commit is in the changelog because dropping ANT support is
important. I've edited it. It was an innocent mistake that I can't fix
without violating a bunch of ASF policies.
