Which Android Min SDK to target?

streeter opened this issue · comments

From looking at the latest platform distribution dashboard, I'm thinking API level 16 and up (4.1.x+).

Mightytext requires version 2.2 and up, so API level 8. To get broader adoption, wondering if we should target that low too.

My hesitation with going too low is the potential for more version fragmentation within the code as there are workarounds for stuff, and we can't use the latest features the SDK provides.

I'm completely fine with using API level 16 as the minimum

I was actually surprised to see how high 4.1.x+ is: API version marketshare history

I had to fix your image link :P

I'm cool with targeting 4.1.x too. Build it first, and if we find that we can easily backport it, lets do it.
