later mobileorg versions on Android 2.1

[Felix via mobileorg-android]

Dear all,

I'm currently setting up my rooted Nook Simple Touch as a tablet, and wondered if there is any way of making the later versions of mobile org work on Android 2.1.

What are the features of the newer versions of MobileOrg and parts of AndroidManifest.xml, that are new since 9.0 (the latest version that I could install)? Is there any way of making it backwards-compatible to Android 2.1?

Just changing minSdkVersion from "8" to "3" does not do the job, and still leads to "Problem parsing the package". Copying the much smaller AndroidManifest.xml from 0.9.0 makes the package readable, but the install fails nonetheless.

Many thanks,

Felix

Hey Felix... I'm sorry to say that we've used quite a lot of new features
that require at least Froyo (Android 2.2), most of which have to do with
our changes for the user interface.... but also minor things like being
able to use String.equals() and whatnot. At this point it would take a
great deal of work to make it backwards compatible with 2.1 and there just
aren't enough people using it to make it worthwhile to do that as opposed
to work on new features.

Hi Matthew,

thanks for the info (and sorry for the late reply). That's helpful to know
so I don't waste time trying to make it work. I have managed to compile the
latest version of the mobileorgNG source code for 2.1, and that's good
enough for now.

Thanks again,

Felix
