[android-developers] 1.6 to later versions

2011-08-26 Thread kypriakos

Hi all,

we have some legacy apps running on 1.6 phones. Would 2.1 be the next
(and only probably)
compatible version that such apps can run on without issues? I think
2.2+ is when the apps
may need to be modified. Is that a correct assessment?

Thanks

Hmm... in my experience not too many things have been dropped out of
the APIs from 1.6 onward.  Maybe that's incorrect, but I didn't really
have any problems taking 1.6 apps and putting them on newer devices.
(I never went higher than 2.3, you'd probably want to change layouts,
etc... for tablets, but that seems like a problem because of the fact
that it's a different screen, etc...)

What kind of problems did you expect?  And can you just throw it on a
device or emulator and see what happens?

(I'll give one example of where I did have trouble:  I used to read
bookmarks / browser history, you can't anymore.)
