My problem is, I can install and run on Jelly Bean, but no longer on Gingerbread as I had before with my previous version. Can someone give me the correct settings that I should modify in the manifest xml file to allow the app to install on as many android systems as possible? I am still a newbie and this is all so very confusing. I am trying!!

For that you will have to download the google api level 17.
