As the title reads would a lower API level be possible, I was hoping to do some testing on my old BB10 phone also, but it's API 4.3, I was also hoping to play around with my REALLY old BB Playbook but its API 2.3.2
Just curious is all.
Thanks.

I'm sure it's possible, but - and it's likely you already know this - as of Nov 1 this year, API 26 is the only one the Play Store will officially allow even for older programs. New programs haven't been able to use less than API 26 since late August this year. This has been a public service announcement. Here's the specifics: developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/target-sdk |

Yeah I have no worries about Google play, this was for kids. Also for all the old BB fans lol. So the api level would be of no concern.

Hmm, you may be able to edit the Gradle build file, then, to use a lower SDK version in the supplied files. I'll take a look and see!

Setting the API is an option in Android Studio. Go to Tools->SDK Manager. To be honest, I actually don't know a whole lot about gradle so you might have to google it. It took me over a month to get the ANT project to work in gradle. It wasn't as easy as google made it seem.

Oh awesome! Ok! Well, here's a link to join. I have left it pretty much default so n00b can become owner once in 
It expires in one day, so if it doesn't work let me know and I'll generate a new one. 
Sorry for my absence. Took a little trip to Iowa for work.
P.S. Iowa sucks.

Ok I joined! My phone got smashed so I will only be available for short random bursts, I can usually only manage 1 hour a day on my laptop, if I am lucky. I will log into Discord every one of those hours though lol.

I just joined. I didn't check the forum much in the past 2 days because we have a crazy amount of stuff going on at work. I also just celebrated my birthday.
BTW did anyone get a chance to try out the android project for ANT I added recently. The build script is actually written in RCBasic.
