Cordova android mapped to which android API

When using Cordova I want to build for Android API version 23.

When I do cordova platform add android then when I build the app by doing cordova build android. It builds for API 25 by default.

How do I go about setting the correct api version. Also mention what is to be installed in the Android-sdk.

Thanks

  • How do I go about setting the correct api version

    In your config.xml, use a <preference> to set it:

    <preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="23" />

    Also mention what is to be installed in the Android-sdk

    The API 23 platform SDK needs to be installed. See the Cordova Android platform guide for more details.
