Need to improve build instructions #231

Having built FreeDCam a few years ago I wanted to build it again to install on my phone.
I cloned from github, opened in Android studio and had great problems building.
My mistake: didn't notice I had to separately clone the renderscript stuff. Maybe a note in build instructions would help.
Then I had probems with gradle version and sdk versions.
what eventually got things going was to use
compileSDK = 31
targetSDK = 31
minSDKversion = 16 ( can't be less than renderscript version)
buildtoolsversion 31.0.0
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.3.3-bin.zip
com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.1

NB later versions of gradle don't work.
There is a need to make sure that SDK and gradle versions in renderscript match versions in FreeDCam.
