Docs say ANDROIDAPI=19 sets minimum API level, but it sets target API level

[ghost]

I am pretty certain export ANDROIDAPI=19 doesn't set the API level 19 as the docs claim, because the AndroidManifest.xml has this entry: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="12" android:targetSdkVersion="19" />. (and I have trouble with jarsigner indicating it's at least minimum API level 17 or lower) This suggests it actually sets the target level which is something quite different to the minimum API level.

The docs however suggest ANDROIDAPI sets the minimum level here: https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/blob/master/doc/source/quickstart.rst with quote: export ANDROIDAPI="19" # Minimum API version your application require(sic)

I suggest this should be fixed!

Edit: improved ticket text with it now being obvious what the issue is

Edit: was confused how to set minimum api level, but was told in chat it's --minsdk by the always helpful @inclement - thanks!

A lot of this lack of clarity is a symptom of my own confusion back when I got SDL2 working. I've been working to understand this a bit better while looking at python3, and I'll try to make an effort to clear it up when fixing up my work for merging.

Edit: This SO question illustrates how annoying it is to work out what's going on - half the answers contradict one another!

Fixed now with the merge request being in!
