Android Question Check android version before app initialize?

[Hamied Abou Hulaikah]

Hi, How to Check android version before app initialize and crash in old android versions?

 

[ivan.tellez]

Google play publish new roles not accepting older sdk, So I can't lower sdk version!

That is the point.

Check my first answer. You have to set higher min sdk value. There is no other way.

We set a higher sdk version, Google play allow old android versions to install! But when run it crash

 

[Hamied Abou Hulaikah]

You cannot check. You can only forbid installation on former Android versions

How?

First answear in this thread was correct. Now everyone is just repeating the same and this thread is becoming pointless.
Set higher min sdk like instructed in my first answear. Change minSdkVersion="5" to something else such as 10 or 12.
