What you "compile" with (i.e., what version of the Android build chain you are using) has nothing to do with what can and cannot be run on devices. For example, I just tested an app that was compiled using the Android 2.0 build chain, with a target of API level 4, with a minSdkVersion of 3 and a maxSdkVersion of 5, and the resulting app installs and runs fine on both a 1.5 AVD and on a Google Ion still running 1.5. Now, it is conceivable that there is something with all of this that will cause the Market to filter your app out, but it shouldn't. Also, if you use 1.6 or 2.0 APIs, you can expect your app to blow up on 1.5 unless you take precautions. In fact, the app I was just testing was one that does that -- it uses different code to handle 1.5 when I really want to use a 1.6 API. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 1.6 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
