Why won't a Android 1.5 app run on Android 2.2 phone or emulator?

Question

I'm developing an Android application using Android 1.5. I'm using an older version of the SDK because I'm building it to run on a single G1 phone.

I've been using a 2.1 emulator without any problems, but when I tried taking a look on my Nexus One (2.2), the application immediately stopped responding. I then tried a 2.2 emulator with the same result.

Has anyone seen a similar problem or know of a possible solution?

The project isn't very complicated. I have a service running in the background that listens to incoming text messages and passes those messages on to a database. When I run the program in debug mode, it never hits a breakpoint on the first line of the first activity. It is as if it cannot even load.

Answer 1

I never found a solution for this. The above suggestion didn't work. In my specific situation, the app doesn't have to run on 2.2, so I'm just avoiding it.

How's that for a solution?? :D
