Android Question Installing Error

[devlei]

When trying to install my apk to a Android 2.1 phone I get the following error:

Parse Error
There is a problem parsing the package.

On other phones/device (> 2.1) it installs 100%.

From the Android SDK Manager I have 2.2 (API 8) installed. From other posts I understand that Android is backwards compatible so 2.1 (API 7) should run fine.

1. What else could be the problem?
2. What is the best API to have installed or must I have more than one installed?

Problem solved!!
I forgot that I had previously changed the minSdkVersion to minSdkVersion="8". After changing it to minSdkVersion="7", it installs fine on the 2.1 phone.
