Jan Mulder 1df4b6c11b Android build: Add BUILDTOOLS_REVISION
The used cmake toolkit for building the Android Subsurface-mobile app
(qt-android-cmake) recently moved away from compiling with Ant in favor
of Gradle. The most recent Android SDK will not support Ant any more.

This calls for the addition of the Android SDK BUILDTOOLS_REVISION define
to the cmake of Subsurface-mobile. Without this, the build will fail.

The value has to be set to an existing directory in
.../android-sdk/build-tools/

Tool repo to crosscompile subsurface to android-arm
---------------------------------------------------

Dependencies:

1. android_sdk, android_ndk and Qt for android. See step 0.
2. cmake
3. ant
4. Java JDK
5. working adb is recommended
6. dependencies of libdivecomputer and subsurface -
   visit http://subsurface.hohndel.org/documentation/building/

Steps to install:

Step 0.
Grab..
Android ndk from: http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html
Android sdk from: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download
And QT for android from: http://qt-project.org/downloads

Step 1.
Extract and install these into known directories.
Have a look in the top of build.sh for where the cross build tool expects
them. By default thats is: ../../../android-ndk-r9d ../../../android-sdk-linux
and ../../../Qt/5.5 (or Qt/5.6)

Step 2.
Run bash build.sh in the terminal. By default it builds for arm but you
can pass x86 as first arg to build.sh to have it build for x86. Nice when
debugging in a fast emulator.
The script will download and build the whole dependency chain.

After this, subsurface will be built for android.

The output folder is subsurface-build-arm/android_build and your newly
created apk shows up as:
subsurface-build-arm/android_build/bin/QtApp-debug.apk

Where the x86 apk shows up when built for x86 is left as a exercise for the
reader.
