I'm building my first android app and slightly confused when choosing the right API. I've noticed that some functions are available starting from API 21. But then, why in the world would anyone use API 21 or higher if it's only supported by 40.5% of android devices??? Only 4 out of 10 sounds ridiculous to me. Or, is there something I'm missing?
Thanks.
Well it actually depends on you as a developer to know your target audience, and choose the right API target. Nevertheless, all these new features and functionalities that you think are only available for new APIs all have support through the use of Android Support Library. You can still have access to all the newer APIs through support libraries officially provided by android.
Android Support Library
At the end of the day you would want to target as many devices as possible to get a wider audience for your app.
now google research on the android "O". so its very soon new android application development API coming but you are say that you create your first android application so you need to fist familiar with all api so for you batter is you use minimum 16 and maximum 23 or 24 what ever you chose.if you chose latest api's so that u have latest android studio version.
for you all name and api details
This may be a noob question as i am new to Android development.
So i downloaded ADT and when i started SDK Manager it threw me a long list of Android APIs; i installed the latest API but i got confused as i don't know if i only install API 20 will i get full Android API or specific to that version/release?
For example: I downloaded API for KitKat so i get the full API with all the classes and interfaces? or only the new ones that are introduced in KitKat?
If you download API 20, you will get all the API's that are available to the level 20. It means you will get the new features, AND all the apis that are required to develop for devices running level 20.
It does not mean that you will only get the updates
Some features might be deprecated in a newer version. That means if a particular function has been changed, you will get updated version in the respective level.
It will give you a latest API, but if any feature are been diprecated, they won't be included in them. But for startup purpose its no stuffs to worry about having only one API installed.

I'm working on an android application that should search available wifi and connect to the chosen network. first of all I want to show all wifi networks in my app. I found some tutorial but all of theme need API 14 and I have to use API 8 for this approach.
Any idea would be great.
Thanks.
Unfortunately you MUST have API 14 as a minSdkVersion. There simply is not such a function in earlier API(s), thats why Google added it.
Change the minSdkVersion under your AndroidManifest.xml to show android:minSdkVersion="14"
I am new to android. In my application I tried to call a SOAP web service, but when I run the project it says: Required API is 9,but Device API is 8.
What can I do for that.
This means that a method or class you have used in your code wasn't added to Android until API revision 9 (Gingerbread, see this list).
If you want your app to run on a lower API version, you'll have to either remove that call, or use reflection (described here if you need it) to check for it's availability. Either way you'll have to find another way to do what you're wanting on lower API versions.
I'm new to android n i want to develop application in Android (for 2.2 Version) with use of Google Map API i found various tutorial like this
http://www.androidhive.info/2012/01/android-working-with-google-maps/
but i'm unable to find how to install Google Map API for API level 8 like in this link.
Can any one please provide me the link which explains the installation of old API's because i have google Map API for level 14 but i want to install for level 8.
Thanks in advance.
Step #1: Open up your SDK Manager
Step #2: Scroll down in the list to find the API level you wish
Step #3: Check the "Google APIs" checkbox for the API level you wish
Step #4: Click the "Install packages..." button and follow the prompts
I had the same problem, apparently its because the sdk manager is not updated. I didnt feel like updating so I cant confirm that part. BUT, I can confirm one way around.
Alan Sha posted a manual way to download the APIs.

Just do what he says and it works. You will have to change your api level in your manifest and in project settings.
