Android Developers Show You How to Easily Target 1.5

In a trend that’s beginning to annoy many Android 1.5 and 1.6 (cupcake and donut, respectively) users out there, many new apps completely disregard the still-quite-large fanbase of users that haven’t gotten the pleasure of upgrading to Android 2.0+.

Fortunately, Google hears you guys and is looking to spread the word to developers regarding a staggered targeting system. In their latest article, Adam Powell shows us how you can take one codebase and target it toward every active version of Android out there.

I’m not going to go into specifics about what’s talked about here (since there’s a whole lot and – honestly – a lot of it goes right over my brain), but make your way over to the official Android Developers blog now if you have a 2.0+-only project that you’d like to adapt to older OS versions.
