I wanted to create an app that would take advantage of API level 11, but still run in a reduced functionality mode down to API level 8.
In my projects settings, I tried setting "Application/Minimum Android to Target" to "Android 2.2" and "Android Manifest/Target API level" to 12 (closest available to 11). Unfortunately, my application wouldn't compile since it was taking advantage of API level 11. If I set "Application/Minimum Android to Target" to "Android 3.1", it would compile but wouldn't run on an Android 2.2 machine. I was able to solve my problem by manually editing AndroidManifest.xml and adding android:minSdkVersion="8" to the uses-sdk attribute. That allowed be to compile (I had Minimum Android to Target set to 3.1), and since I guarded the API 11 section of my code it would run on a 2.2 machine. Is Minimum Android to Target supposed to set minSdkVersion in AndroidManifest.xml? If not, that would seem to be a useful setting to expose in some manner. Thanks, Darren
