I got an error message from a user that runs Android 1.5. The error reported os a java.lang.VerifyError and it seems to be based on the method setBuildInZoomControls missing. The thing is that this method should be there on an Android 1.5 device and my app's manifest specifies the minimum sdk level as "3".
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" android:targetSdkVersion="4"></uses-sdk> The documentation for that method says that it is available on level 3: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebSettings.html#setBuiltInZoomControls(boolean) So why do I get this error message?
