Re: [android-developers] Application incompatible when trying to install on Galaxy 10.1

You don't need to set your minSdkVersion to anything specific just to declare in your manifest that you optionally require a feature.

In our application ,  we are showing
details of customer such as phone number , email id , address. When he clicks on phone
number we are initiating call, email means opening the native email client  and if it is
address we are mapping that address in Google maps. supports from 1.6
We are adding the telephony permission in the manifest file .Users  were not able to install
our app on tabs such as Xoom, Galaxy 10.1 etc since they don't have call option in the tab.
So when they try to install app it is saying incompatible. The call functionality is not necessarily
needed for our app to work. So we thought to use

    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" />

But the problem is , this is supported from 2.1. So we have to raise from 1.6 to
2.1. So we don't want to do that because many people are  still using 1.6. Any solutions for this isssue?
We want the min version as 1.6 and it should work on Tabs which doesn't have call functionality too.
Is it good idea to give two builds for the same app for this reason ?
