I started a project and had many problems because I chose version 2.3 as a base, now I am working on another application that will have to have: connection to online database, and save edition in photos, in case only a text written in the photo, I think it’s the canvas I’ll have to use, what’s the minimum version I should use? Making a good app, good design?

João, I think to define the references of any application you need to keep in mind two things:

  1. Target audience of your project. They have access to what minimum requirements?

  2. What minimum requirements are necessary to achieve the objective of its application?

Obviously, you should set the 2 thinking of your target audience. Define who you will reach, then define the requirements you can have in your application and voilá, you will have the minimum requirements necessary for your system. It is no use to use the maximum of technology if your target audience does not have it available, as it is no use to use a technology that is left behind and cannot develop better applications. It’s a scale.

    I get it, I need my app to be used by as many people as possible, so I think I’m going to have to adapt and use version 2.3 as a base, I think I can use it, because in 2.2 I could use Snapchat, and I need a camera, and so on. And Snapchat had everything I’m gonna need, so I guess it does.

Only one complement...

Google provides a graphic of the android devices, this is very interesting because the data help as argument to convince the customer or yourself. As you can see, approximately 85.8 of the devices run android from Platform 15, I consider a good option for the minimum API.
