With github.com/godotengine/..., #Godot 4.8 will automatically install and set up the #Android & Java SDKs if the editor detects they are not installed. This should greatly simplify the Android export process!

Wanted to try out Godot on my Android tablet. Not only does it run well, it runs my project (aimed at PCs) perfectly. Besides some mysterious errors that don't show on PC but also don't seem to affect anything. I'm in awe @godotengine.org, amazing job to all the contributors that made this possible.
