I’m new to android,as I followed the “Hello World” lesson using Eclipse,curious things happened:when I opened the manifest.xml file with “Android Manifest Editor” and typed some codes in it,such as permission codes,it caused wrong:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />

In this sentence: 

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

said these:” tag should specify a target API level (the highest verified version; when running on later versions, compatibility behaviors may be
enabled) with android:targetSdkVersion=”?””

But if I used “Text Editor” to editor it ,then it was ok…I don’t know why,anyone knows about that?Thanks.

    You should include a targetSdkVersion attribute so that the app knows what version you are targeting:

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

    (Or another version if you are creating an app with backwards compatibility or similar)

    The reason you see a warning or error message is because the Manifest editor is more advanced and specialized for editing android manifests compared to the default text editor that can’t recognize these problems.
