Description

I followed these steps:

npm update -g cordova
cordova -v [returned 3.6.3...]
cordova create helloCordova
cd helloCordova
cordova platform add android

After the line, "Creating android project..." is the error message: 'Please install Android target "android-19". Hint: Run "android" from your command-line to open the SDK Manager.'

I went ahead and ran android to install android-19. Is this really supposed to happen for a new project? I though we were supposed to determine on our own what versions we want to support.
