    +    - Add `android` platform to the project
    +    - Check for system requirements for the `android` platform.
    +    - Build the project for the `android` platform and emit verbose output.
    +    - Run the project on `android` emulator or device.
    +    - Build `android` platform using custom signing options.

    +##cordova create command
    +
    +###Synopsis
    +
    +Create the directory structure for the Cordova project in the specified path.
    +
    +###Syntax
    +
    +    cordova create path [id [name [config]]] [options] 
    +
    +| Value | Description   |
    +|-------|---------------|     
    +| path  |  Directory which should not already exist. Cordova will create this directory. For more details on the directory structure, see below. |
    +| id    | _Default_: `io.cordova.hellocordova` <br/>  Reverse domain-style identifier that maps to `id` attirbute of `widget` element in `config.xml`. This can be changed but there may be code generated using this value, such as Java package names. It is recommended that you select an appropriate value.  |
    +| name  | _Default_: `HelloCordova` <br/> Application's display title that maps `name` element in `config.xml` file. This can be changed but there may be code generated using this value, such as Java class names. The default value is `HelloCordova`, but it is recommended that you select an appropriate value. |
    +| config | JSON string whose key/values will be included in `<path>`/.cordova/config.json |
    +
    +###Options
    +
    +| Option | Description |
    +|--------|-------------|
    +| --template |  Use a custom template located locally, in NPM, or GitHub. |
    +| --copy-from\|--src | _Deprecated_ <br/> Use --template instead. Specifies a directory from which to copy the current Cordova project. |
    +|--link-to | Symlink to specified `www` directory without creating a copy. |
    +
    +###Directory structure
    +A Cordova application built with `cordova-cli` will have the following directory structure:
    +
    +    myapp/
    +    |-- config.xml
    +    |-- hooks/
    +    |-- merges/
    +    | | |-- android/
    +    | | |-- blackberry10/
    +    | | `-- ios/
    +    |-- www/                    
    +    |-- platforms/             
    +    | |-- android/
    +    | |-- blackberry10/
    +    | `-- ios/
    +    `-- plugins/
    +
    +#### `config.xml`
    +Specifies your application configuration allowing you to customize behavior for your file. See also [conifg.xml reference documentation][config.xml ref]
    +    
    +#### www/
    +Contains the project's web artifacts, such as .html, .css and .js files. As a cordova application developer, most of your code and assets will go here. They will be copied on a `cordova prepare` to each platform's www directory. The www source directory is reproduced within each platform's subdirectory, appearing for example in platforms/ios/www or platforms/android/assets/www. Because the CLI constantly copies over files from the source www folder, you should only edit these files and not the ones located under the platforms subdirectories. If you use version control software, you should add this source www folder, along with the merges folder, to your version control system.
