apps/HelloAndroid is hopelessly stale

[steven-johnson]

It doesn't build on recent Android setups and may not be a good example anymore. We should really revise it to work properly and give it some buildbot-testing love.

(Is it possible to use a CMake-based build for Android at this point? It would make ongoing maintenance immensely easier for us if we could avoid having to use Gradle, etc directly.)

(The same is likely true of HelloIOS)

Almost... when I looked into this, the CMake/Gradle integration did not appear to provide any way to get a host build to run. So building the generators inside the Gradle build is a challenge. I would want to speak with a more experienced Android build engineer before opining further.
