Hello, I optimized my app for displaying on phones & tablets. But Google dev console says <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4"/> is too low for Tablets and I should use "11" or higher (Android 3.0+).

If I use "11"+, won't I be eliminating Froyo 2.2 and Gingerbread 2.3 users from being able to get my app? Thanks!

You do not need to change the minSdkVersion. You should add android:targetSdkVersion="14". Your app will work on all devices (running Android 1.6+).

Thanks Erel. I read your manifest editor tutorial but I wasn't sure if this is exactly how I should enter it?:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="14" />

The way I stated it worked. Now last remaining error message is that I need "custom drawables and assets for common tablet screen densities." I'll try to figure out how to take care of that. Thanks Erel!
