[android-developers] aapt backwards compatibility, etc

2009-12-15 Thread bbe
Are the newest versions of aapt backwards compatible with the older versions? i.e. can i read 1.0 1.5 apks with the 2.0.1 SDK aapt? My tests show me it works, but is it failsafe? If this is not the case, what's the easiest way to determine the android version an APK was developed for and know

Yes, you should be able to use the newest aapt to read any older .apk. We don't, however, test aapt with older versions of the platform, so doing so is not supported. It probably works, but there could well be obvious or subtle problems that result. On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 2:03 PM, bbe
