Android Question SDK_Target 26, what consequences?

[Star-Dust]

Given the updates requested by Google, setting SDK_Target to 26 what consequences do they imply?

(see https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4a-v7-80-has-been-released.87467/page-2#post-553607)

I presume that Erel was talking about RTP (Run Time Permissions) and that developers should remember to add the RTP library if they are going to set the Target to higher then >=23. All my apps are set to Target 27 and any apps that need the RTP library have got it.

Not just RTP, but other things are also be effect after Target 34.

But I could be incorrect about the consequences that Erel was talking about...

i think he is talking about the behaviour-changes in Android 8

RTP is mandatory if you target 23 or above.

But also the Background execution limits may affect your app

Oh okay, thank you @DonManfred...

A few things (not complete):

- 23 - runtime permissions
- 24 - must use FileProvider when sharing files
- 26 - background limits.

You must carefully test your app on a device running the OS version set in the targetSdkVersion (or higher).

Don't rush with it. The deadline is August 2018 for new apps and November 2018 for existing apps.

Thank's.

Having them schematized is better for me than I do not know English well.

The official link is complete, but much of what is written I can not understand it.

Thanks again

Other things:

24 - Default background color is white.
22 (?) - Notifications icons colors are ignored. Alpha levels use as a mask.
