Android versions 4.2 supported? - finding header files

[MarcWeber]

Trying to compile an app for an old tablet (odys iron) android 4.2 or such. I ended up with the following error messages.
So TRS_24 has android-activity as dependency and I feel like having to specify header locations but don't know exactly how.
Does Android-activity has a list of Android versions known to work ? I don't know exactly where to start looking into details.

warning: `/Users/marcweber/mw-repos/TRS_24/example/.cargo/config` is deprecated in favor of `config.toml`
note: if you need to support cargo 1.38 or earlier, you can symlink `config` to `config.toml`

You might just be missing out because Android 4.2 is API level 17 (https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platforms), while the latest GameActivity docs state it's only backwards compatible to level 19 (Android 4.4): https://developer.android.com/games/agdk/game-activity/get-started. EDIT: Since this crate is barely maintained and never updated, the GameActivity code copy-pasted into it may be older and compatible with earlier Android versions?

But from the logs it's hard to confirm that you're using a valid tool / environment to cross-compile to Android. It seems you're using an arbitrary arm-linux-androideabi-clang++ found in PATH, without ever providing an Android-specific sysroot from the NDK, nor providing a --target flag with the right Android target API level. Perhaps consider setting these up in (target-specific) C(XX)FLAGS environment variables and/or using cargo-apk or xbuild to cross-compile your Rust project.
