For brltty, the minimum SDK is 16 (Android 4.1) and the targeted SDK is 26
(Android 8). So, it's almost the same.

OK, so the SDK version is not the reason for the message Rob reported. 26 is
fine I think. 

Upping the targeted SDK to 28 (Android 9) comes with a difficulty that I
haven't yet taken the time to resolve. Most of brltty is C so a native
library (actually, two) has to be made in order to load it. Starting with
Android 9, Google now wants both 32-bit and 64-bit native libraries. Right
now, only a 32-bit library is made for brltty.
