Change minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion about etar-calendar HOT 6 CLOSED

What's the problem ? Why change minSdkVersion ? Look at https://medium.com/google-developers/picking-your-compilesdkversion-minsdkversion-targetsdkversion-a098a0341ebd#.swchy06c1 for better understanding.

Because some of the users aren't lucky enough to have devices with newer Android :) And obviously, the higher minSDK prevents them from installing the app.

Yes, but are there any problems with SDK 15 ? I think we should only preclude User with lower Android versions if there are serious issues with the app.

I don't have a device with API 15, but it ran fine on API 16. The problem is the minSdk in the build.gradle, that prevents from installing on pre-KitKat devices. I suppose, changing it to 15 as well would be fine.

Ah okay now I understand what you mean ;). In my opinion we should remove this from Manifest.xml. It isn't used anyway.

@xsoh Can we change to API 16 in build.gradle or why is API 19 required ?

If it's tested, I don't see a problem with it as well. Can you send a pull request with the change?
