Deploy for different APIs

[smartlit]

Hello,

I've just purchased Basic4Android. One question: I need to develop 2 projects, one targetted to Android 2.1 (API=7) and one to Android 2.2 (API=8). How can I easily change this target for each project? I was expecting to see a Project Properties window where I could change these values.

Thanks,

Paul

Welcome Paul.
Unless you are using any library that specifically mention a minimum SDK then your application will run on all Android devices starting from Android 1.6.

Hello,

And if this is the case (I will use a library that requires a specific API), how can I easily change the target platform? Do I have to change each time the path in the General Options dialog?

I'm making this question because I've also evaluated one your competitors (of course you know it, it uses C#) and they had a nice Project Options dialog where I can choose a specific API, per project, not per environment.

I would recommend this addition in the next update: in the Project Options dialog you could place all the options related to this project (target API, label, package name, etc.)

Thanks.

You can just choose API level 14. This way it will work fine for all your projects.

Your application will run on Android 1.6 or above (unless you are using a more limiting library).
