Building for Froyo and Honeycomb

[eddy2099]

I am still an Android newbie. The only Android device I have is my Froyo based phone. I know that you could use Basic4Android to build apps for the whole range of Android devices.

My question is that from a programmer's perspective in using Basic4Android, is there any difference between building an app for say the Samsung Galaxy Tab (Froyo) as opposed to say building for the Motorola Xoom (Honeycomb) ? I understand that I probably have to just build against the relevant SDK Platform and also handle the screen size. Is there any thing that I should take care of ? That is assuming that I am just need to develop apps which does not take advantage of some Honeycomb Only features.

I want to get an Android tablet. I like the idea of Honeycomb but the tablets are 10.1" which I feel is too huge for my liking. I like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" which I find more portable.

Thanks. Sorry for the newbie question.

You do not need to change the SDK version. Unless you are using a library that specifically says that it requires a specific version then your program will work on all devices with Android 1.6 or above.

There is a short tutorial about connecting to Samsung Galaxy Tab: http://www.b4x.com/forum/showthread.php?p=41397
