- The targetSdkVersion default value for new projects is now 14 (this can also be easily done with the manifest editor).
Any chance this could be a Radio/Option Button, Combobox, or SubMenu of the Project menu with options for 10, 11, and 14? I really don't want to override this with the Manifest file every time.
I had posted an issue sometime back about a Tablet not drawing Tabs correctly. I had decided to try this out to see if perhaps adding [AddManifestText(<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>)] to my Manifest would fix the tabs drawing wrong. It in fact made things worse. Current Tab at load still isn't drawn and it draws them with the ugly Blue underline only which looks horrible with Images in the tab and the blue line covers the images. My Edit Texts also draw wrong and text appears as a really faint grey instead of Black. I also cannot exit any activity with the Back button...not sure how to use any of my apps now since only home works and without force closing I go right back to the same screen. I do get an enhanced titlebar that contains the icon of the app now although it cuts off the bottom.
I then decided to Test it on my Galaxy Note with ICS. It also gets the enhanced titlebar which draws ok, but takes up a lot of screen. Scrollviews no longer fade at top and bottom which I think is better along with appearing to scroll better. Tabs draw ok although the background is now a Dark Blue gradient and makes the images and text harder to read. It also cannot exit the activities with the Back Arrow though which is a big one.
I think I'll be sticking with API 10 as even 11 displays most of the issues. Other than Battery life being slightly better for AMOLED I actually dislike the Dark ICS theme. Speaking of themes, thank you for clearing up the DEFAULT thing above. I now see that you meant Default was a color option and not setting the Defaults which would have been a cool addition.
