You can create an app targeted at any version of Android (1.0 if you wish - I aim mine at 2.2 as it informs me that 100% of the devices who have accessed the Play Store in the past n (3?) months run at least 2.2).

You have the option to download the dependencies for whichever version of Android you want to compile for at a minimum, but yes, the fact that it supports Android 6 is as you said, support for, not ONLY for.

Actually on a related note - I've got some apps (not mine) which work on my older device, but crash on my phone that I've upgraded to Android 5.1.1 - Is there any way to tell what won't work in a new version of Android than what you've selected?

I've seen a few commands listed as depreciated but it doesn't indicate whether there would be a problem running with them on say Android 6 or not?

Kind regards

Quentin.

I was getting ready to download and install Android Studio. But as best I could tell, it Android Studio will create an app for use on Andriod 6 (Marshmallow). What about previous versions of android?

On the features list at the Android Studio page, it says "Android 6.0 Marshmallow". I'm hoping that just means that it INCLUDES support for Marshmallow but I wasn't sure.

TIA.
