[android-developers] Re: "Designed for tablets" with both minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion tags?

Is this the spec you're using?

http://developer.android.com/distribute/googleplay/quality/tablet.html#android-versions

It says:

---

At a minimum, check the <uses-sdk> element to make sure that:

1. targetSdkVersion is declared with value 11 or higher (14 or higher is recommended), OR
2. minSdkVersion is declared with value 11 or higher.
3. If a maxSdkVersion attribute is declared, it must have a value of 11 or higher. Note that, in general, the use ofmaxSdkVersion is not recommended.

So it looks like a minSdkVersion >= 11  is required...

Which doesn't make any sense to me -- e.g. my app has a multi-pane UI using native Fragment when on API >= 11, but runs fine on API >= 5 (and has a mostly Holo-styled UI, too).

I suppose most, if not all, apps using the support library / ActionBarSherlock would be same way (I'm not using either, but same principle).

Weird. Android 2.3 is down to about 40% and was finally overtaken by 4.0+ in last month's stats, but in no sense completely gone and can be ignored...

I am implementing the new "Designed for tablets" specification on GP. It is easy to implement and get it to work for live wallpapers. I replace <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" /> with <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="11" /> in the manifest. I wonder if there is any way of having both of the minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion tags in the manifest? I get a message that the app is not "Designed for tablets" when I try to include both of these tags.
