Change API version

Question

I get the error:

ERROR: Application requires API version 11. Device API version is 8 (Android 2.2).

How can I change the API version of my app, I am using eclipse.

Thanks

Edit the android:minSdkVersion tag in your AndroidManifest.xml file. Set this value to the lowest level you are targeting...in this case 8.

If you want to compile against a higher API level, but allow the app to run on 2.2 devices, leave the minimum at 8, and add a android:targetSdkVersion parameter set to 11.
