I recently ran into some 1.5 issues with my widgets that were caused by a certain quite popular phone that still runs 1.5 ignoring @dimen values.
So supporting 1.5, understood as some kind of pure Platonic form, is no problem at all, but dealing with bugs in particular firmware versions is not fun at all. For now, both my apps continue to support 1.5, but a new project I'm working on will only run on 1.6+ - because that's the first version with multi-resolution support, and one really needs that these days. -- Kostya 2011/1/17 TreKing <[email protected]> > On Mon, Jan 17, 2011 at 7:07 AM, String <[email protected]>wrote: > >> For my own apps, I don't have a problem supporting 1.5, and I figure that >> an extra 5% is nothing to sneeze at.
