1. Is preferences.txt read when processing starts? 2. Why doesn't my file structure work?
Returning to processing and trying to do more with Android Mode. But I have been having trouble, probably due in part to the disorganized mess I left behind. I am now trying to establish a well-organized file layout for both Java and Android Mode hobby programming. Here's what I have now:
C:\processing-3.2.1\mode, with folders which (I think) provides P3 support for Android and Java modes
C:\Users\{me}\Workbench\P3\sketches\modes\AndroidMode\sdk, which (should) provide the Android native API
In C:\Users\{me}\AppData\Roaming\Processing is the file preferences.txt which contains this line:
android.sdk.path=C:\Users\Bob\Workbench\P3\sketches\modes\AndroidMode\sdk
Yet, when I start P3 and click on the mode menu initialized to "Java" I don't see Android as an option. Instead, I have to click on Add Mode. Unfortunately, this afternoon (Sept. 3) the configuration manager pops up but is stuck -- showing only a whirligig. (I guess processing.org is down.)
Q1: Doesn't P3 read preferences.txt on startup?
Q2: Or is my file structure somehow inconsistent.
Note: I tried installing Android Mode 0255 (from Github) into a separate location and modifying preferences.txt accordingly. It didn't work. But I have little confidence I did that operation properly.
Thanks, Bob

Or, to put it another way:
How can one force Processing 3.x to recognize an Android SDK except by using the configuration manager?
Please ignore original question (except maybe Q1) but still wondering about my Answer, i.e. making P3 reference an Android SDK other than loaded using Processing tool.
