Android自定义sdk编译版本,编译版本与最低要求版本Android

When compiling a Java application with a Java 7 compiler, you can’t

use it with a Java 6 interpreter. The interpreter will tell you, that

it can’t interpret the produced byte-code, even thought you’re not

using any Java 7 language features. If you want to compile with the

latest compiler but make your byte-code runnable on older JVM

instances, you’ll need to tell the compiler to do so (using the

-target-flag).

In Android, you can declare what platform-versions you support in your

manifest-file, using the -element and it’s

android:minSdkVersion and android:targetSdkVersion-attributes. The

difference between those “targeting mechanics” is, that Android does

not care against which platform version the application was compiled.

If you declare your application to be compatible with API Level 4,

Android will happily install it, even if you compiled it against

Android 4.1 (API Level 16).
