Choosing the right API Level for my android application

Viewed 58742

I currently have a application targeted at android 2.3 (api level 10), but went thinking that probably people using android 2.1/2.2 or older won't even be able to see the application in the market.

So I thought that using api level 3 would be the best to use, but I don't know if this will maybe make certain elements in my app work less good, and probably buggier, since it actually uses old android code. Is there a good way to find out which API level I should use, and also, how do I convert my application to that level?

The Best API Level is contains follows 1) The best API covers 100% market but all are not prefect so our app should be covered at least 90% with all devices .

2)We have to care about backward compatibility issues and our code would adapt itself for upcoming versions.

3) Using the new Android SDK is a requirement to use any of the new APIs added in that level. It should be emphasized ... It is ultimately a business decision on whether supporting an additional 3% of devices is worth the development and testing . 4) check out this link https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/compatibility.html#defined

5) Finally choose the best API you will find best API
