Android Device Chooser Shows Red X In Target Column

Question

I\'ve recently built an Android app with a minSdkVersion of 7 and targetSdkVersion of 10. I\'m now making the app tablet compatible and adding action bars. So I updated by tar

Answer 1

It's becuase your devices are running Android versions 2.3.4, and 3.1, so you must have minSdkVersion="10" at the very least. Once you set the minSdkVersion to 10, then you'll get the green check mark again.

Answer 2

In Eclipse, after changing the minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion

if the "Android Device Chooser" still shows the Red X on the Devices (which should be compatibles). Try:

• Open the "Debug Configuration" or "Run Configuration" Dialog
• Remove all the configurations under "Android Application"
• Retry Right-Click on the Project > Debug As > Android Application

All compatible devices should turns to the green check mark now.

Answer 3

AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="15" />

If your manifest have a higher "targetSdkVersion" than your device, it will show a "red cross(X)" next to the firmware.

If your minSdkVersion is higher that your device it will not even run

UPDATE:

I tested the sample project and got the same results as my answer clarified since the beginning. (image of the project running with same specifications as the question)
