How to best define the minimum API for a project?

1

I started a project and I had many problems because I chose version 2.3 as a base, now I'm working on another application that will have to have: connection with online database, and save editing in photos, in the case only a text written in the photo, I think it is the canvas that I will have to use, what is the minimum version that I should use? Making a good app, good design?

John, I think to define the requirements of any application you need to keep two things in mind:

  • What is the target audience for your project. Do they have access to what minimum requirements?

  • What minimum requirements do you need to achieve the goal of your application?

  • Obviously, you should set 2 thinking about your target audience. Define who you are going to reach, then define the requirements you can have in your application, and voila, you will have the minimum requirements for your system. There's no point in using the most technology if your target audience does not have it available, but there's no point in using a technology that lags behind and can not develop better applications. It's a scale.

    Just one add-on ...

    Google provides a chart of Android devices, this is very interesting because the data helps as an argument to convince the client or yourself. As you can see, approximately 85.8 of the android devices run from platform 15, I consider it a good option for the minimal API.
