Starting with Android 1.5 SDK, the SDK isn't tied to a specific version of Android anymore.
Instead the SDK is a combo of the following components: - The tools (DDMS, adb, etc..) - The documentation - One, or more, platforms, ie you could have 1.1, 1.5, and 1.6 in your SDK (and any platforms we release in the future) - add-ons (for instance of the Google API add-on which exists for 1.5 and 1.6). This requires a recent ADT, to deal with the change in the SDK structure. >From there, whenever you create a new project you must select what a platform you want to compile for, and when launching an emulator you can target which platform to run as well by creating AVDs (http://d.android.com/guide/developing/tools/avd.html). You could defintively have in the same workspace 1.1 projects alongside 1.5 and 1.6 projects (or even projects targeting add-ons). If you are still using the original 1.1 SDK, I _highly_ recommend that you download the latest SDK* and add 1.1 support to it via the SDK updater (http://d.android.com/guide/developing/updating-sdk.html) * the latest SDK is called "Android 1.6 SDK" but it's a misnomer really. It's just that it's the one that introduces the 1.6 component to the SDK. It can actually support 1.5 (which is in fact pre-packaged) and 1.1 (available as a separate download, see doc about SDK updater). We will probably straighten out how we name SDKs in the near future.
