If you are going to publish the app on the Market, you might want to think about these issues:
- An overview the relative amount of how many users are using which Android platform version: http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-CN/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html. - On top of that you might want to know that 1.6 (Donut) has better support for developing layouts for different screen sizes: High density (HDPI), Medium density (MDPI) and Low Density (LDPI). I would recommend starting with 1.6, since a lot of people use it, and is has better support for different screen sizes/densities. If you run into limitations, then you might want to switch to a higher platform version. On Apr 10, 7:55 am, chris0101 <[email protected]> wrote: > First post here!
