Android Question targetskdversion in manifest?

[ilan]

hi

i have this in my manifest editor:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>

will my app run also in android 4.4? or because the target is smaller the the 4.4 will it not run?
is targetsdkversion the maximum sdk that will run my app?

You will have no problem running it with OS 4.4. It works perfectly.

As @Mahares wrote your app will run on Android 4.4 and also future versions of Android. There is another attribute named maxSdkVersion which allows you to limit the version. This attribute should more or less never be used.

Thanx now i understand...

I can limit my app to an android version via maxtargetsdk...

The use of maxSdkVersion is not recommended, read THIS
