[android-developers] Re: Android version doubts

Personally I try to compile my apps with the latest version of the SDK
but set the minimum sdk level to whatever is the lowest level I want
to support. At the moment, that's usually target 11, minimum 3 or 7.
This is done in the manifest file in the uses-sdk section as described
here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html

If anyone's got a good reason to compile with a lower version of the
SDK please let me know but I figure you're going to gain any
optimisations by using the latest version.
