You can use a level 4 or higher build target, so that you can use the new attributes, but still set minSdkVersion to 3 and run on older phones. You do have to be careful not to use new methods on the older phones, however. This is generally done via reflection, or checking values like Build.VERSION.SDK before using a class that uses new methods. There's a blog post re this: http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/backward-compatibility.html
