Thanks for helping with improving documentation.
Could you make the suggested changes so that we can merge those improved instructions in the codebase?
Thanks!

Is there any way we could make sure build.sh does it for us?

Could you update the build.sh script to take care of it instead of adding more instructions?
| Open terminal and set two temporary export variables | ||

Could you keep it as /path/to/android-sdk (and maybe provide a specific example).
Like
$ export ANDROID_SDK=/path/to/android-sdk # /Users/username/Library/Android/sdk
| * (Make sure they point to your SDK and NDK folders) | ||
| ``` | ||
| export ANDROID_SDK=/Users/YOURNAME/Library/Android/sdk | ||
| export ANDROID_NDK=/Users/YOURNAME/Downloads/android-ndk-r13b |

Downloads is not a great path to install a SDK/NDK ;)

Could you try not being too specific with downloads URLs?
Java version will evolve over time and I'd like to avoid changing these instructions too often.

| * Building with Java 8 or 10 might throw a few warnings during the build, but it will still build | ||

Same here with Android SDK and NDK.
