hi,

Is it possible to set the minimum Android version to 4.4? From the dropdown I can see that after 4.2 it is 5.x ... and 5.x would be too high to have as a minimum requirement.

The AndroidManifest.xml has the following:

code
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="17" android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
</manifest>
/code

Can I change that to make 4.4 ( API level 19 ) as the minimum, without any other consequences?
code
&#46;&#46;&#46;&#46;
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" &#46;&#46;&#46;&#46;
/code

?

Thanks,
M.M

Hello,

Sorry for keeping you waiting.

Actually, the "minSdkVersion" can be modified in AndroidManifest manually.
However, this may lead to incorrect updating of AndroidManifest.
So, when doing so you need to understand the risk of running into the related problems.

oic ... thanks. I think I'll leave it for now. Hope 4.4x will appear in the dropdown list soon. Because now after 4.2x Min. SDK version, it is directly 5.0.x

Thanks,
M.M
