I've never declared a target sdk, I figure that's safer. my android phone is version 10 so I can't increase my minimum or i'd be stuck with the increadibly slow emulator. it took hours to get a screenshot off it for the tablet google play image. it will be some time before I can afford a version 11+ phone or i'd just change my minimum to 11 so I wouldn't have to worry about it. testing on the emulator takes literally hours for each run so i'll never be able to compare different phones:minsdk:targetsdk:development skd permutations.
