I am asked to develop a simple android application. Am almost done with it. (Am a experienced java developer).
My question is. The app more or less is a webview. Which Android version should I build for?
Of course – you should always build for the newest version – But most of the android phones still run old software (2.1).
Should I build the app for 2.1?
You should probably build for 4.0.4, but set minimum SDK version to 2.1. The minimum version should be chosen based on what is your app requiring. You can set it even to 1.5 if you don’t use any newer features and you know what you’re doing (you would probably need to do more testing).
