Indeed, this is how my uses-sdk clause looks like: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" android:targetSdkVersion="4"/>
Yet, the user is queried about the READ_PHONE_STATE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions anyway (when downloading from a direct link in the browser). The "project target" (set by the android tool when updating the project) is "android-4". Is there a difference in behaviour between downloading from the Market and the browser?
