MinSdkVersion: What is the difference between maxSdkVersion targetSdkVersion and target? targetsdkversion

MinSdkVersion

Description: The minimum sdk version supported by the app.

Purpose: If the mobile phone SdkVersion is smaller than the minSdkVersion defined in the app, the android system does not allow the app to be installed.

Location: AndroidManifest. xml

Default Value: 1

Check time: app Installation

MaxSdkVersion

Description: The maximum sdk version supported by the app.

Purpose: If the mobile phone SdkVersion is greater than the maxSdkVersion defined in the app, the android system does not allow the app to be installed.

Location: AndroidManifest. xml

Default Value: None

Check time: app installation (not detected after Android 2.0.1)

TargetSdkVersion

Description: Target SdkVersion.

Purpose: The ID has been fully tested in the specified SdkVersion. The Android system will not perform compatibility processing on this version.

If the targetSdkVersion = 16 app runs on a mobile phone with SdkVersion = 16, the Android system will not perform any compatibility processing, thus improving the performance.

If the targetSdkVersion = 16 app runs on a mobile phone with SdkVersion = 17, the Android system needs to perform compatibility processing to ensure that the app still runs as 16

If the targetSdkVersion = 16 app runs on a mobile phone with SdkVersion = 15, an error may occur. Therefore, at least ensure that the app passes the test on the minSdkVersion mobile phone.

Location: AndroidManifest. xml

Default Value: minSdkVersion

Check time: Runtime

Target

Description: build target.

Purpose: SdkVersion used to compile and build the project

Definition location: project. properties

Default Value: None

Check time: compile and generate. apk
