I’m trying use an object which wasn’t available until SDK level 5. It seems the only options are API 1.6 which uses SDK 4 and the next available option is using 2.1 which uses SDK 7.
If I try setting the target to 1.6 and setting minSdkVersion to 5 it obviously errors.
Is the only way around this to jump straight to 2.1?
Set your
targetSdkVersionto 7 (Android 2.1) and yourminSdkVersionto 4 (Android 1.6).Remember that using targeting SDK methods on Android devices that has a lower Android version than your target SDK will result in a crash. It’s important to remember because you might wanna check which version the user’s phone has at runtime and select a different route if the target API isn’t supported.
