Can you change min. API level for your Android app in Eclipse?


If you go into your Manifest file and set

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" />

to

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />

Then you will have changed your entire project from running 1.5 as a minimum to 1.6.

While you are still building your app, you can change the minimum API level at any time.


Using Android Studio, you would find minSdkVersion in the build.gradle file under app directory.


The answers regarding uses-sdk are no longer true in Intellij.

Now <uses-sdk> is ignored in the AndroidManifest.xml, it is automatically added to the built manifest file. To change the version, go to the 'build.gradle' file and look at the minSdkVersion.
