Minimum Android version

Monkey Targets Forums/Android/Minimum Android version

If Monkey requires a minimum ver 3.2 to build the apk, does that mean that your app will run on devices with version 3.2 or higher only??

Is it possible to compile with the 2.3 API so that the app is compatible with a larger number of devices?

For Scorched Monster I had:

android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="14"

8 is Android 2.2

I built against API Level 15 in Eclipse for my release build.

I haven't had any complaints and there are several installs on 2.2 devices.

EDIT: You can open an emulator in Eclipse and build from there to see if it runs on lower versions of the SDK.
