To

Hope it will help you out.

Answer 2

I received this message :

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:processReleaseManifest'.

  Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 16 cannot be smaller than version 19 declared in library [:CordovaLib] C:\\Users\\Azman\\Projets\\test5\\platforms\\android\\CordovaLib\\build\\intermediates\\library_manifest\\release\\AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 16 Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 16, or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 19, or use tools:overrideLibrary="org.apache.cordova" to force usage (may lead to runtime failures)
