This would be a breaking change right now, so I guess it would be nicer to just check both locations?

[brody4hire]

I think we will need to adapt pluginHandlers.js instead. Followup question is coming on #552.

[brody4hire]

I concur with @janpio that we should check both locations.

Alternative is to just update the documentation (apache/cordova-docs#905).

[brody4hire]

I just pushed an update to support both locations, didn't test it yet.

[DavidWiesner]

Ok I can update the pull request. Wich file should win in the case both files existing? Should the apply exclusively or in sequence if both files existing?

Good question. I thought we should run both files, didn't think about the ordering.

I would personally like to see the old location deprecated at some point.

If my commit doesn't help then feel free to remove it with a force push. I am still not a real Gradle expert.

And we should update the documentation as well. If I follow your link and click the edit button it takes me to the following file: https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/blob/master/www/docs/en/dev/guide/platforms/android/index.md

@janpio can you think of anything else?

[DavidWiesner]

I think your commit is just fine. This was my prefered order and method. I hope the old location will stay. It was luck that I found this bug before shipping our alpha build to public. Otherwise ~2000 people local settings and database get lost.

Thanks @DavidWiesner, would like to get review from one more member before merging.

If someone else does a merge, I recommend a squash merge but please be sure to give @DavidWiesner credit in the commit. I hope we can do this today.
