SDK The best Api

[ciginfo]

Hello,
In 2007, with the SDK It was recommended to use API 8.
In 2012, is API 8 always recommanded or one more recent?

In my opinion, you should always install the latest SDK, Android after all is backwards compatible; at least that's what I do and never had a problem.

It doesn't really matter which SDK you use. It doesn't affect the compiled APK file (the SDK is only referenced during compilation, eventually the device built-in software is used).

Some libraries depend on API that isn't available in older versions. In that case you need to use a higher level SDK.

The performance of the emulator running Android 2.3 (API level 10) used to be better.
