I want to add a new feature, move2SDcard available only on API8 (Android2.2) but making minSdkversion=”4″. So, I change the Android jar file loaded in eclipse by (project prop -> Android ) and select Android 2.2 Project compiles and runs.
Is this a good way to add new apis specific to new versions.
for minSdkversion you need to specify the minimal api level with which you app runs with no problems, in you case api level 8. If you say min sdk 4 that means that your app will be able to be installed on phone with api level 5 and in app with api level 5 I think your app would NOT be able to work correctly.
with Android 2.2 it goes minSdkversion=”8″ (API level 8) FROYO
here are some platform highlights http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html
take a look to the statistics of the market and you will understand that most of the apps are above API 8 http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html
