Hi friends, I'm developing a new app here targeting SDK Version 19.

Manifest (b4a default):
B4X: 
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="19"/>

My question is:
Should I use the android.jar from API 19 or could I use the latest android.jar (API 27)?

I personally always use the latest API so in your case...
B4X: 
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="27"/>

Depending on your app you will probably also want to set the minSdkVersion higher too, maybe 16...
