Currently I am developing Android project for old sdk version.
However – new SDK versions have been released and thinking to use new features in the UI.

If I want the application to run also on the old SDK devices, how can I make a single APK for all devices (for new SDK devices will use new features)?
Is it possible?
Or should I create different releases?

Example – ActionBar is on SDK ver. 3.0 and latest, if I will include it – then will not be able to run on SDK ver. 2.1, but I still want to support the users who have the oldest SDK versions.
