Answer 1

Find file android_parser.js in Windows it is undr path:

C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\cordova\src\metadata

change in file android_parse.js

OR if You are makking application from PhoneGap not Cordova:

C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\phonegap\node_modules\cordova\src\metadata\android_parser.js

go to line: 57

if (output.indexOf('android-17') == -1) {

and change it for:

if (output.indexOf('android') == -1) {

This will let You not to wory about future :)

But then You can occur this Error

[Error: An error occured during creation of android sub-project.
]

To fix it You will have to goto this path:

C:\Users\USER_NAME\.cordova\lib\android\cordova\3.1.0\framework\project.properties

And change this line:

target=android-17

To this:

target=android-19

Or whatever is Your Android SDK version

What to do if You want to use Android 2.2 ?

Just simple go to:

Your_Project_Folder/platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml

And change:

To:

And after that import Your project to Your IDE

Enjoy :)
