 How to Build
 ------------
 
-The recommended way is to install Android Studio.
+The recommended way is to install Android Studio and Maven. These instructions are for
+SDL 2.28.5; adapt your SDL version accordingly.
 
 1. Place a copy of `data.zip` in `desktop_version/VVVVVV-android/app/src/main/assets/`.
    (If the `assets/` folder doesn't exist, then create it.)
-2. Clone the SDL repository and place it next to where you've cloned the VVVVVV
-   repository. Make sure to check out SDL 2 and not the latest as of writing (SDL 3).
+2. Obtain the SDL 2.28.5 Maven package. As of writing, SDL currently does not publish
+   Maven packages, so here is one way to obtain them (other methods are possible):
+
+   1. Download the SDL 2.28.5 source code.
+   2. Run the `build-scripts/android-prefab.sh` script in the SDL repository.
+   3. After building, run `mvn install:install-file
+      -Dfile=build-android-prefab/prefab-2.28.5/SDL2-2.28.5.aar
+      -DpomFile=build-android-prefab/prefab-2.28.5/SDL2-2.28.5.pom` to install it to
+      Maven Local.
+
 3. Open the `desktop_version/VVVVVV-android/` folder in Android Studio.
 4. Click 'Build'.
