API Level 19

hi,

Is it possible / ok to set the API level to 19 ( Kit kat 4.4 I guess). Some additional things like being able to turn off default NFC sound can be done in that version.

If yes then how do we do this?

Thanks,
M&M

Hello,

We do not support external plugins and do not have ready solution to share.
Please search online whether it's possible and how this should be implemented..

Hi,

I am not referring to external plugins. I am.referring to Android API level. I think current default level when you choose 4.1 version, it is 16. But how then lot of newer java code requires android api level 19

Thanks,

I am not trying to ask for help regarding external plugins - I am referring to ANDROID API level. I hope the attached image clarifies what I am trying to ask

I can see that android manifest file has api / sdk level set to 16 (version 4.1) .

HI M&M,

To set android 2.2 version available you can do following:

1 Open project sources.

2 Open file : ANDROID-projectName-AndroidManifest.xml
Details: http://prntscr.com/7mwfpg/direct

3 Edit following line:

precode

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="16"/>

/code/pre

To set android:minSdkVersion with 8 value(android 2.2+).

Details: http://prntscr.com/7mwh4g/direct

It such way you can set any other min sdk verstion.

Regards.

hi Yurii,

Are there any simple steps to add google play services dependency in Appery? So far I could not get any help on this topic. I need it because my other plugins need this as a dependency - for example admob and other geofencing plugin.

I have seen it being referenced this way
code
<framework src="com&#46;google&#46;android&#46;gms:play-services-location:7&#46;5&#46;0" />
/code

I believe the above is the newer way. The other methods are deprecated or will be deprecated soon I heard

thanks

M&M,

No, unfortunately there are not simple steps to add them. They should be add like any other plugin.

Everything from advertisements to important geolocation APIs are dependent on the below line

code
<framework src="com&#46;google&#46;android&#46;gms:play-services-location:7&#46;5&#46;0" />
/code

The only revenue for our App is from advertising and we cannot use the advertisement plugin without Google Play services.
