In your situation, I'd try what kitkatman suggests...

I know the AndroidManifest.xml file has a line like this: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14"/> Where you can state what the minimum SDK level is required... But I am a member, and I am self hosted, so when I need an older Android project (which, I kind of don't do anymore) I'd just use a BTv2 project. Sorry. Cheers! -- Smug Comments I'm not 100% sure.

chris1 Code is Art Posts: 3862 Reg: Aug 10, 2012 Austin, TX 50,120	06/29/14 06:25 AM (10 years ago) I'd recommend against it - it's only going to cause you headaches with support, even if you could get it to work. When you go to 2.2, you're basically marketing to all the $50 flip phones sold at the gas station or given away for free. I would go so far as to not even call these "smartphones". There's a lot of them out in the wild, but not held by many owners that care much about apps.

kitkatman Aspiring developer Posts: 24 Reg: Jul 25, 2012 Lagos 1,340	06/29/14 06:52 AM (10 years ago) Its pretty straightforward. Download the package via sdk manager. U'll find it under Extras folder (Android support library) Before adding a Support Library to your application, decide what features you want to include and the lowest Android versions you want to support. I agree with chris and unless it is more of a learning experience, 4.0 is the new 2.2. Read http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html#download Comments Its pretty straightforward.
