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.
Please provide feedback if you find any issues, or if there are ways to simplify even more.

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)
