[android-developers] Re: PLEASE HELP!!! may i develop app for Android 1.6 using SDK 2.x?

2010-05-11 Thread Mark Wyszomierski
If I understand your question correctly, then yes.

In your manifest, just set the following:

  uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion=3
android:targetSdkVersion=6 /

the app will still work on 1.5+. Just make sure you don't use any SDK
methods that don't exist on earlier platforms without checking the
user's local sdk version.

 hence, i would like to know if i can develop app for Android 1.5/1.6
 using more recently released SDK (eg. 2.0)? if yes, how?

 thanks in advancet for any advice!!

A further tip: as one of the ways to check you aren't using API that
won't work on 1.5, set your project properties to 1.5 and see if there
are compile errors. Do this once in a while, and at least once before
every release.

If any methods come up that do not compile on 1.5, and you still want
to use them, you'll need to use reflection to make them compile for
1.5. It's messy but it works.

hi Nathan and Mark, thanks a lot to both of you!!

one more question: in Eclipse, how can i set project properties to
1.5? could you elaborate the menu options or point me to the
documentation page that indicates how-to.

thanks again!!

thanks, Mark.

i think i need to upgrade SDK asap, or i will become crazy!

emulator 1.6 is far more terrible than 1.5. beside the slow clock
issue, it tends to lose connection with adb, so i have been having to
either kill emulator or kill adb frequently to debug my app.

enough. i cannot stand it any more.
