uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=4
  android:targetSdkVersion=11

and if i did that - it'll still be compatible with api-4???

If you wish to refer to things that only exist with API Level 11+, yes.

Done carefully, yes. The build target merely controls what you compile
against. You can have an API Level 4 build target and still have
something that will not run on API Level 4 (e.g., you access newer
stuff via reflection and screw it up), so it's not like the build
target is some magic elixir for compatibility.

That's certainly one strategy.

ok mark i think i've got it now.

just before release, i'll comment out the holo theme style and build
against api-4 - to make sure it's all good.

then i'll release using api-11 sdk.

Make sure your build target is API Level 11 or higher.

[android-developers] Re: ICS - checkbox style

2011-12-28 Thread dashman

using your suggestion, added this to my android v1.6 project
(from the above link)

style name=LightThemeSelector parent=android:Theme.Holo.Light
...
/style

i'm getting a syntax error on the theme name.

i'm thinking because the project is built for v1.6 and the Holo theme
is for a later api.


does this mean i have to build for api 11.

i'm trying to get a v1.6 compatible project - but if it happens to
be running on a api 11+ ...use the holo theme.

Have a res/values-v11/ directory that defines a theme that uses
Theme.Holo.Light. Have a res/values/ directory that has a theme with
the same name that does not use Theme.Holo.Light.

 I'd like my checkboxes to appear like the default ICS checkboxes. 

 how can i do that and maintaining backward compatibity. 

 i assume it has to do with style..or is it a theme.
