So whenever I add 

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion = "7"></uses-sdk>

my application refuses to work properly. The UI is miniature (the font is small and the buttons are smaller than usual). I tried changing the minversion from 7-15 and none of them worked. My phone is on 4.0.4 and whenever I take out 

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion>

it works perfectly. Sadly google market requires this, and I can’t upload the application not working. Any ideas? If I need to give more information just ask, thank you so much!

The application is mainly an XML app, such that there is no graphical interface, just native buttons, and such. I am using the Theme.Holo.Light theme though. Thank you!

    The easy fix is likely to set minSdkVersion to 1; this should give you the same behavior as leaving it out, but allow you to upload your app to the Play store.

    The better solution would be to set it to an appropriate value based on what APIs you use and testing it on various devices, and adjust your layouts to work appropriately.
