Ignore Android 1.5 for new development. Use the Android Compatibility
Library for fragments. If you stick with just toolbar buttons and the
standard options menu, the action bar is completely backwards
compatible without any version-specific Java code. Use the multiple
APK support to ship your current 1.5-compatible APK as-is to 1.5
devices.

However, there are more Honeycomb tablets being sold today than new
1.5 devices, and there will be a slight uptick in Honeycomb once the
oft-delayed Android Market support for Google TV arrives. As a result,
1.5 is trending downward and will probably fall below 1% in the next
4-6 weeks.
