Do I need to uses always the last targetSdkVersion?
android, android-library, android-manifest
Solution
What could I do very wrong with this choice?
There is nothing wrong with this choice, which is why the build tools default to it.
Setting the `targetSdkVersion` opts you into specific behaviors that you might not get with an older `targetSdkVersion`. You can see some of what you get by reading the documentation for `Build.VERSION_CODES`.
Problem
Simple question: In Eclipse "New Android project" command always tries to uses last available sdk. Is it always a good idea? UPDATE: I try to explain. Now in Eclipse, "New project" produces a manifest with: ``` <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="17" /> ``` So, target to the last Android (Jelly Bean, 4.2.x) but it can run also on Froyo (2.2). It's ok for me. What could I do very wrong with this choice? UPDATE Is it ok if I set android:minSdkVersion="8" + android:targetSdkVersion="17" and the build target to 2.2 to be sure my app will run on older devices (no NoSuchMethodError exception)?
