As with the Android 1.0 API, the Android 1.1 API 33 is assigned an integer identifier — <strong>2</strong> — that is 34 stored in the system itself. This identifier, called the "API Level", allows the 35 system to correctly determine whether an application is compatible with 36 the system, prior to installing the application. </p> 37 38 <p>Applications indicate the lowest system API Level that they are compatible with by adding 39 a value to the <code>android:minSdkVersion</code> attribute. 40 The value of the attribute is an integer corresponding to an API Level 41 identifier. Prior to installing an application, the system checks the value of 42 <code>android:minSdkVersion</code> and allows the install only 43 if the referenced integer is less than or equal to the API Level integer stored 44 in the system itself. </p> 45 46 <p>If you use the Android 1.1 system image to build an application 47 compatible with Android-powered devices running the Android 1.1 48 platform, you <strong style="color:red">must</strong> set the 49 <code>android:minSdkVersion</code> attribute to "2" in order to specify that your application 50 is compatible only with devices using the Android 1.1 (or greater) system image. 51 </p> 52 53 <p>Specifically, you specify the <code>android:minSdkVersion</code> 54 attribute in a <code><uses-sdk></code> element as a child of 55 <code><manifest></code> in the manifest file. When set, the 56 attribute looks like this: </p> 57 58 <pre><code><manifest> 59 ... 60 <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="2" /> 61 ... 62 </manifest></code> 63 </pre> 64 65 <p>By setting <code>android:minSdkVersion</code> in this way, you ensure 66 that users will only be able to install your application if their 67 devices are running the Android 1.1 platform. In turn, this ensures that 68 your application will function properly on their devices, especially if 69 it uses <a href="#apichange">APIs introduced in Android 1.1</a>. </p> 70 71 <p>If your application uses APIs introduced in Android 1.1 but does not 72 declare <code><uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="2" /></code>, then it will 73 run properly on Android 1.1 devices but <em>not</em> on Android 1.0 74 devices. In the latter case, the application will crash at runtime when 75 it tries to use the Android 1.1 APIs.</p> 76 77 <p>If your application does not use any new APIs introduced in Android 78 1.1, you can indicate Android 1.0 compatibility by removing 79 <code>android:minSdkVersion</code> or setting the attribute to "1". However, 80 before publishing your application, you must make sure to compile your 81 application against the Android 1.0 system image (available in the 82 Android 1.0 SDK), to ensure that it builds and functions properly for 83 Android 1.0 devices. You should test the application against system 84 images corresponding to the API Levels that the application is designed 85 to be compatible with.</p> 86 87 <p>If you are sure your application is not using Android 1.1 APIs and 88 has no need to use them, you might find it easier to keep working in the 89 Android 1.0 SDK, rather than migrating to the Android 1.1 SDK and having 90 to do additional testing.</p> 91 92 93 <h2 id="extlibs">External Libraries</h2> 94 95 <p>The system image includes these external libraries, which you can 96 access from your application by adding a <a 97 href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-library-element.html"> 98 <uses-library></a>.</p> 99 <ul> 100 <li>com.google.android.maps — gives your 101 application access to Google Maps data.
