To arrive a huge industry, Android builders needs to create apps that practice good on units working Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jelly Bean models of Android, in addition to on various machine shape elements. concentrating on diverse sizes of units is simpler than you could imagine. mobile monitors are quite a few sizes, however the Android format process does an outstanding task at adapting. capsules require extra paintings, yet if so you should use configuration qualifiers to do the task (as you will see that in bankruptcy 22). For Google television (which additionally runs Android), although, the diversities in UI are big enough that you'd frequently desire a separate app. models are a unique tale. whilst releases are incremental, there's little challenge with backwards compatibility. even though, there was one specially tectonic shift. Honeycomb used to be great the largest factor in Android compatibility is navigating the divide among the pre- and postHoneycomb worlds. the discharge of Honeycomb used to be a huge shift in Android and brought a brand new UI and new architectural elements. Honeycomb used to be only for capsules and Google television (and no longer commonly adopted), so it used to be now not until eventually Ice Cream Sandwich that those new advancements have been commonly to be had. seeing that then, new releases were extra incremental. on condition that greater than half units nonetheless run Gingerbread or older units, builders can't make a fresh holiday and forsake that which got here sooner than. ultimately older units becomes much less accepted, yet this is often taking place even more slowly than you may think. therefore, Android builders needs to spend time making sure backwards compatibility and bridging the space among Gingerbread (API point 10) and Honeycomb (API point eleven) and past. Android has supplied aid for conserving backwards compatibility. There also are third-party libraries that could support. yet holding compatibility does complicate studying Android programming. frequently you'll have to examine methods of doing issues in addition to how you can combine these methods. At different occasions, you are going to examine only one approach that turns out inordinately complex since you are addressing not less than units of necessities. in the event you can swing it, we recommend going to sleep for a number of years. then you definately can get up and research Android programming as soon as Gingerbread units now not make up a significant proportion of the marketplace. If that's not attainable, we are hoping it's at the least useful to appreciate the cause of a few of the issues. in the event you created the GeoQuiz undertaking, you put 3 SDK models in the new program wizard. (Note that Android makes use of the phrases “SDK model” and “API point” interchangeably. ) determine 6. 1 be mindful me? Let’s see the place every one of those settings lives on your undertaking, clarify the default offerings, and spot the best way to swap them. The minimal required SDK model and the objective SDK model are either set within the appear. From the package deal explorer, reopen AndroidManifest. xml. in the uses-sdk point locate the values for android:minSdkVersion and android:targetSdkVersion.
