Update dependencies and build configuration

lordcodes commented 5 years ago

Update to latest stable version of Android SDK (28).
Since version 3 of the Android Gradle plugin the supported build-tools version is installed automatically. Therefore, removed setting this manually and removed installing this manually in the Travis configuration.
Update the deprecated Android support library dependencies and use latest stable Android X versions instead.
Remove unused Glide and libs/jar dependencies.
In Travis configuration, licenses are installed automatically. Install Android version via sdkmanager to ensure licenses are all accepted correctly.
Move preparing signing keystore to before_deploy to allow Travis builds to work for Pull Requests.

I'm happy with the changes but I don't have a huge amount of android dev knowledge so I'm wondering if this will still work on Android 6 and 7 (think that's API version 24 and up)? If so, I'll be happy to merge it.

Thank you! The minSdkVersion controls the lowest version it will work on, that remains unchanged, so it will work on devices it worked on previously. TargetSdkVersion is more like the version of Android it is designed for.

Perfect. Thanks for your contributions!
