[android-developers] Re: App targeted for non armv7 devices

As I understand it the multi-apk stuff should allow you to target different API versions, rather than different processor architectures.

You may need to publish two separate applications, one for ARMv6 and one for ARMv7.

Hai all,

We are working in an android project in which we are using a third party scanning library. We got the information from that third party that they compiled their scanning library for ARM v7. We have uploaded the app to the market and working fine for the devices with ARMv7.

Our app has to support from android 2.2 to latest version. There are some devices without armv7.

To support the non-armv7 devices, we removed the third party scan library and also removed all the related things from manifest file. According to goolge play mulitple apk support,(http://developer.android.com/guide/google/play/publishing/multiple-apks.html) we build different apks and uploaded with different configuration parameters for minSdkVersion uses-feature.

We expect those devices without ARM v7 would get this package. But the Google market says both the packages are targeted for the same users. And also it warned that one of the package will be ignored and won't be served to the users.

But those users without ARM v7 are getting the message that 'Your device isn't compatible with this version' and also for those users, the app is not even displaying when searching for our app.

We have searched a lot in the blogs and many sites, but we are not getting any details on how to get the multiple packages work for.

Kindly assist us how to create an app which is targeted for non-ARM v7 devices.

We are using Eclipse for our development and for creating the builds and we are developing with Java base.

Thanks a lot in advance :)
