Thanks, Mike.   I added this comment there:

   If it's very easy to support Android 2.2 then let's do it soon.
   I spent yet another afternoon trying this, to no avail.

   But if it takes more than a few minutes, it's probably cheaper
   and easier, and no more detrimental, to just nix all mention
   of Android 2.2 as LiveCode's baseline.

   As of March 2, the percentage of Android devices running 2.2
   is 0.4%:

   Too many LiveCoders have spent way too much time trying without
   success to get LC to build on Android 2.2.

   Let's just say the baseline is 2.3 and move on. 99.6% of the market
   should be enough for any serious developer.

   In fact, the few who are still using a many-years-old device that
   can't upgrade past 2.2 are very unlikely to contribute to a
   developer's bottom line, so they're hardly worth spending any time
   pursuing.
