Kevin Sapper 341f56ccac Problem: Android build is hard to understand
Solution: Modify the build scripts so the user can specify the platform
for which to build, e.g. `./build.sh arm`. This approach originally
significantly reduces the parameters which have to be set before running
the script.

Further the build process is documented in a README now.

Android Build

Prerequisites

You need the Android Native Development Kit (NDK) installed. See here to download it.

This project is tested against Android NDK version r20.

If you installed version r20 all you have to do is to expose the NDK root directory as environment variable, e.g:

export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=$HOME/android-ndk-r20

If you installed another version you have to expose the NDK root directory as well as the NDK version, e.g:

export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=$HOME/android-ndk-r17c
export NDK_VERSION=android-ndk-r17c

To specify the minimum sdk version set the environment variable below:

export MIN_SDK_VERSION=21   # Default value if unset

Build

In the android directory, run:

./build.sh [ arm | arm64 | x86 | x86_64 ]
