Xavier and Diane, thanks for the confirmation on the SDK level, I was hoping that was the case!

Is it not working? Yes, that works just fine, but it limits us to only being able to publish an apk for that specific level and above--unless we want to create an entirely different app for each supported OS level, which is unreasonable for most apps. Normally (say for PC or Unix software) you would make different install packages available for different combinations of OS and version, or perhaps have a single install package that can handle a set of different OS versions. But at the moment we can't do that on Android, we can only specify a minimum supported SDK level. So what we really need to be able to do is publish, for the same application, one or more apks, each with a minimum and maximum SDK level. If this was available today then I could still support users still on 1.0 and 1.1, but I was forced to abandon them because I wanted to have 1.5-specific features in my app. That's not good user support, and it's going to get much worse very soon as the Android versions proliferate and we have quite a few different levels of OS out there at any given time. We developers need to be able to choose which versions we support and we need to have the tools available to do that. Hope that makes sense. -- Peter --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
