I am working on application which should go into android 2.2(Froyo) and android 2.3(GingerBread) devices.

I have built application with android 2.3 SDK , and Installed the same application in 2.2(Froyo) and 2.3 (Ginger Bread) devices.

In both the devices application installed successfully and it is working properly.

I want to know if we install the higher version build into lower version devices is there any chances to face problems.

Till now I didn’t found any issue with this.

I didn’t used the MIN:SDK version field in the Manifest file.

    If you want only users from version 2.2 and up to download your app, just make sure your minimum SDK version is 2.2 by putting this line in your AndroidManifest.xml:

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />

    If you want an upper bound limit as well, you can add:

    android:maxSdkVersion="10"

    So users with Android SDK version 2.2 up to 2.3.3 will be able to install your app.

    Regarding problems: If you’re using a specific SDK API then just make sure to add an if clause around it to make sure you’re on the right version. The best thing to do is change the target to 2.2 just to see if you have any compilation errors… Then you’d know what to change.
    Then just fix the problems, change back to 2.3 and build.
