Does anyone know the best practice to test run an app on multiple emulators (using eclipse).
So if I include the Android 2.0 library in the app as TreKing confirmed above and I go to Run -> Run Configurations... -> Target tab and select Manual I only see the emulators I have created that use 2.0 and up. The emulators that use earlier firmwares are not even displayed. I'd like to be able to test on a 1.6 emulator. Any fix for this?
