Android SDK 1.1 should developers update?
So it is 4 days the Android SDK 1.1 have been made available for developer’s download. If you are a developer or just curious, you should definitely download it, but should you migrate your development to the new version?
The official position fom Google is not clear, but in general you should not update the development to SDK 1.1 unless you are sure that all the devices that use your application run version 1.1 of SDK. When you do, those are the steps youwould generally like to take with your application to prevenit from installing on SDK 1.0
- Upgrade your SDK to 1.1_r1 (or later).
- Change your Android.manifest file to specify minSdkVersion=”2?.
- Rebuild your project.
- Test on a phone with the 1.1 image (such as a G1 with the RC33 update).
