Plugin overrides android minSdkVersion to 16

This plugin causes cordova to disregard the minSdk version set in config.xml.

For example, if i have the following line in my config.xml: <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="21" />

This plugin causes cordova to build my android app with version 16 as the target (and not 21 as i asked).

For quick fix, create build-extras.gradle with following def minSdkVersion = 21 cdvMinSdkVersion = minSdkVersion ext.cdvMinSdkVersion = minSdkVersion

Copy this file to /platforms/android/ folder. You can either do it manually or can write a hook

Here is a hook that fixes the problem:

Add to config.xml:

<platform name="android">
<hook src="scripts/afterAddBrowserTabPlugin.js" type="after_plugin_add" />
</platform> 

create file: cordova/scripts/afterAddBrowserTabPlugin.js

const fs = require('fs');

module.exports = function(ctx) {
    var Q = ctx.requireCordovaModule('q');
    var deferral = new Q.defer();

    if (ctx.opts.plugins.includes('cordova-plugin-browsertab')) {

        let file = ctx.opts.projectRoot + '/plugins/cordova-plugin-browsertab/src/android/BrowserTab.gradle';
        console.log(file);

        checkForFix(file);
    }

    return deferral.promise;
};

function checkForFix(file) {
    fs.readFile(file, function read(err, data) {
        if (err) {
            throw err;
        }

        if (!data.includes('minSdkFix')) {
            writeFix(file);
        }
    });
}

function writeFix(file) {
    fs.appendFile(file, '\n\n// minSdkFix\nminSdkVersion = 21;\ncdvMinSdkVersion = minSdkVersion;\n' +
        'ext.cdvMinSdkVersion = minSdkVersion;', function(err) {
        if (err) {
            console.log('Adding minSdkFix failed: ' + err);
        }
        console.log("Writing success!");
    });
}
