---------------------------------
Summary: Clarify in docs regarding the minimum Android level
supported by Cordova
Key: CB-6707
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6707
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Docs
Reporter: Marcel Kinard
Assignee: Marcel Kinard
Priority: Minor
I had a discussion here with someone who was asking about what to use as the
minSdkVersion in Cordova. I think there are 2 issues in the docs:
1) the Platform Guide for Android in the docs still says (as of Cordova 3.4)
that Android 2.2 is supported. I believe support for Froyo was removed in
Cordova 3.0. That needs to be changed to say Android 2.3 is the min supported,
in all the doc versions from current back to Cordova 3.0. (Correct?)
2) For 2.3, it's a bit ambiguous if that means API 9 (2.3.0 - 2.3.2) or API 10
(2.3.3-2.3.7). I'd suggest that instead of just saying "2.3" in the Platform
Guide for Android, that for the minimum supported version it include the 3rd
digit of the version and also state the API level. I see in
https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/3.0.x/bin/templates/project/AndroidManifest.xml
that the minSdkVersion is set to 10 there. And API 9 does not appear on the
Google Dashboard ( https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html ).
So the documented minimum API level should be 10.
