WIP android build improvements

[sethvincent]

I'm able to build the app with these changes, but had to stop for the day at this error:

TypeError: TypeError: undefined is not a function (evaluating '_reactNativeAudio.AudioRecorder.requestAuthorization()')

hi, mate! how did you fix that! I go through the instruction but got a blank screen and nothing.

Hey @Frankie34, mostly what I did was go to the android directory, run gradle wrapper, then worked through the issues that came up until I got a successful build. If you're trying to get this app running it might be too soon, it's still under heavy development :smile:.

Getting this permission error even though we've got the correct permission in AndroidManifest.xml:

09-12 14:59:26.455  8464  8495 W ReactNativeJS: Error: Make sure you've added RECORD_AUDIO permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file setAudioSource failed.

I made it to this point by following info in this issue: jsierles/react-native-audio#280

[markdboyd]

The permission error was due to the fact that our app did not have permission to use the microphone in the Android emulator:

If we have time, maybe we should write some code to prompt the user for permission to use the microphone. Or we could put the app in an error state indicating that they need to give permission to use the microphone

very thx！ @sethvincent
