Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Aug 15, 2012 #3 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. Upvote 0
