I am developing an application for Andropid with a min sdk of 30. I have no problems testing it on phone or tablet emulators, but I have not been able to do it for Chromebooks.
I have installed a Chrome OS Device emulator in Android Studio, but it only gives me the possibility to use a Nougat 7.1.1 as OS.
So when I run the application, it tells me that the minimum value of the sdk is higher than supported:
'The application's minSdkVersion is newer than the device API level.'
Is there a way to install a higher Chrome OS so that I can test the app?
Thanks
The Android emulator v30.0.10 includes a 13.5" Freeform AVD that supports resizable window on Android 11+, you should be able to use that for some tests.

Friends i am new in android Platform. I wanted to created Mobiles apps and not Wear Arm's Apps . i have installed 4.4w(API 20 packages and start Emulator after selecting Screen Attributes. But it showing display only for Wear ARM And Not For Mobiles
which Package version I have to install (4.4.2,4.4.3 ..... )
I will be very thankful to you !
4.4W is for Android Wear especially, I mean it's Wear SDK. You can download/install any of the other SDKs available like 4.4, 4.3, 4.2 or any.
4.4 W is Android Wear. You should install API 19 (Android 4.4 Kitkat) and create a new AVD with one of the built-in device definitions, e.g. Nexus 5.
One of the requirements of Google+ platform for Android on the developers.Google.com site is that you must have
A physical device to use for developing and testing because Google Play services can only be installed on an emulator with an AVD that runs Google APIs platform based on Android 4.2.2 or higher.
Since i do not have a Android powered device, what emulator if any can i use in place of this?
This is to say, if you wnat to test GooglePlay service on an AVD, you should create a AVD with a minimum API level 17 (4.2.2)
API level is an option you must configure when you create a new AVD.
I run some trial runs using delphi XE5 with mobile support for android OS. My mobile device is android version 2.3.6. I know that the usb debugger support is only available with version 4.x of android. Anyhow, can I install my compiler app with Delphi XE 5 on Android my manual copying of files to my mobile phone?
Which file do I have to take from my computer and install somewhere on the mobile phone ?
According to David InterSimone the following versions of Android are supported:
there must be a GPU
the CPU must be ARMv7 with NEON instruction support
the OS on the target device must be one of:
GingerBread: Android 2.3.3+ (MR1 or later), which is API level 10
Ice Cream Sandwich: Android 4.0.3+ (MR1 or later), which is API level 15
Jelly Bean: Android 4.1+ (release, MR1, MR2 or later),
which are API levels 16, 17 and 18
So your version is not the issue.
And your CPU is also OK.
You still need to check that the phone has a GPU.
As per Ken's comment, here how to find and deploy the apk file:

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android 4.0.4. I can't run apps (from Eclipse) on my phone because in the Android SDK Manager, I can only install Android 4.0.3 or Android 4.1.
Android 4.0.4 is not listed, so I can't choose it as target in my Eclipse project.
In my understanding, I need to install Android 4.0.4 in the SDK Manager, otherwise I can't run apps on my Android device.
Is there a workaround? Why is Android 4.0.4 not in the Android SDK Manager?
4.0.4 is the build on your device. The versions listed in the SDK manager are the ones in which a change was made to an API, whether it be a bug fix or a feature addition/removal.
You can target any Android SDK and still run on your device, as long as the minimum SDK is specified to be equal to or lower than the version your phone is running. You can check here for the API version and their corresponding Android builds.
I want to build Android application. My target devices is tablets (not smartphones). Today exist only 3.* version of android OS, aimed for tablets. Is it normal if i begin build application for tablets in 3.* API? The tablets which will be release with android 4.0 (ice cream sandwich) can to run my application built on 3.0 API? Or me better to wait for 4.0 API if my target devices is tablets?
Generally, in which version of API to develop my app for tablets?
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure that the applications which run on Android 3.* will run on Android 4.* too, because there is no point of making and OS if the old application will not run and all the developers have to build their applications for the next version. So I suggest to build your application for Android 3.* if your target devices are tablets.
Android documentation says that all their SDK releases are forward friendly and that seems to be the case when using an emulator. I have an application that was written in 2.0, recently upgraded to 2.1 and we have some people in the office that have XOOM tablets (3.0) and we cant get it installed.
After some modifications to the manifest (suggested steps from droid dev portal) it still wont install on the XOOM at all.
If you are targeting tablets then i would start with 3.0. If there are features in 3.1 that you can't live without then have fun.
