[Interest] AndroidManifest Minimum required API not working as expected

I suppose that qmake is generating different Makefiles depending on what is using for build the java part.

So, my supposition is:
 - when you select “ant” as java builder, then Qt Creator generate a Makefile for using “ant” … and this may contain some bugs that doesn’t allow to change the Qt app name and the Android SDKs
 - when you select “gradle” as java builder, then Qt Creator generate a (different) Makefile for using “gradle” … and this may be bug-free (because I didn’t have any problem on setting Android SDKs) … and using “gradle” allow to change other aspect of java building overriding gradle.properties.
