I found the origin of the problem mentioned in issue #694 (Aidl not found)

Hi guys,
I found the origin of the problem mentioned in #694

Note : it is about the aidl problem and the lack of the build-tools directory in ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk/

On a fresh Ubuntu 18 system, when running this command :

buildozer android debug deploy run

The process stopped with this :
Aidl not found, please install it.

Actually, we need to accept the sdk license. But, by running buildozer in log_level 1 we have no chance to see this license request.
We need to set log_level at 2, then run the command again. The script will pause with messages (thanks to log_level 2). We need to hit the 'y' key and 'Enter'. Then everything will go smoothly!

Thank you !

For me, even with loglevel 2 the script does not pause to wait for user input and everything is declined.

I saw the y/n prompt come by, but I got confused and broke off the build. After that, I found this thread, but now I cannot get the y/n prompt to accept the license back again.
No matter if I do a clean build, manually delete the SDK, I get the 'AIDL not found' message.

Any idea how to re-invoke the SDK license prompt?
