Is there a way to set a minimum OS for Android when building for Dist.

Hi - I am very new to Android Development so forgive me if this is a dumb question but is there a way to set the min req OS for Android when we are building the apk? Perhaps like the min OS version setting in build.settings file?

Also, I’m trying to set up an emulator with 2.3.3 (min. version supported with Corona I think) but it doesn’t offer me the armv7 option just the other arm option when setting it up in Eclipse? Are we supposed to do the armv7 one? Did I miss a file in my installation of the 2.3.3 OS in Eclipse, because I don’t see it there.

Thanks in advance.

#1: Many have tried, but few have succeeded in limiting the OS level with Android. This thread talks about using screen size to dictate what devices can run your app. Apparently it’s the closest anyone has come on Android.

#2: You just need the   Java 6 Development Kit for Android development. Eclipse isn’t required.

Corona SDK only supports armv7 and the current minimum SDK is 2.3.3.

The minimum is something we have to build the product with, it’s not something you can control or set.  If this is important to you, then either Corona Enterprise or Corona Cards will allow you to build using native tools and you can set your own restrictions (as long as is 2.3.3 or later…)
