body: <p>When typed <code>cordova platfom is</code>, it returns android 6.3.0 version.But the problem is that I haven't downloaded that version in my android sdk and so, it tells me to install android target of api level android-26.</p>

  <p>In order to avoid that, I wanted to change it to android@5.0.1 but it gave me a huge error message in red; but when typed <code>cordova platform add android</code>/<code>cordova platform add android@6.3.0</code>, it fetches all the data and adds that to <em>config.xml</em> also.</p>
