Maybe there is no answer to that question on this forum?
The general part of the question is what happens when you use a Theme
that is not supported on all versions of the SDK that your app runs on
like this -
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="4"
android:targetSdkVersion="8" />
<application
android:icon="@drawable/foobar"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar">
The minSdkVersion is 4 but Theme.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar isn't available
until level 5.
There would be lots of other cases of attributes, themes, and styles
that would be later than level 4 that you want to use where available
but want to handle gracefully on earlier devices. I.e., not being
locked into the lowest common denominator.
