Motivation

Needed simple instructions to get an up-to-date Android build environment setup on Windows.
(installs and runs as a user, no admin privileges are needed)
Thanks to other developers for sharing their hard work, utilities, and helpful information.

Everything is self-contained under the "$BASE\android" folder

($BASE defaults to the user's home folder)
$BASE\android\sdk  (android sdk and build tools)
$BASE\android\sdk\ndk-bundle  (android ndk)
$BASE\android\fpcupdeluxe_app  (FPCUPdeluxe installer)
$BASE\android\projects  (default LAMW projects folder)
$BASE\android\fpc-lazarus  (FPC, Lazarus built w/ LAMW)
$BASE\android\fpc-lazarus\ccr\lamw  (LAMW files)
$BASE\android\fpc-lazarus\ccr\lamw-gradle  (gradle build tool)
$BASE\android\fpc-lazarus\ccr\lamw\demos (LAMW demo projects)

Versions Tested

Windows 10 Pro 22H2 64-bit with latest updates installed

Android Command-Line Tools for Linux build 9477386
OpenJDK 11.0.18 LTS (Microsoft's build)
Android SDK/API Level 31 (Android 12)
Android NDK revision 22
Gradle 6.8.3 (installed automatically by FPCUPdeluxe)

FPCUPdeluxe ver 2.2.0n
FPC stable v3.2.2
Lazarus stable v2.2.4

32-bit CPU Target: ARMv7a + VFPv3 (hardware floating point)
64-bit CPU Target: Aarch64 (this always uses hardware floating point)

Main steps begin here

Run these commands in a non-admin powershell console.  I recommend running these
one at a time so you can verify the results before moving on to the next step.
