Uploaded app shows in wrong api level device

Question

We have uploaded an app into market with following api level in AndroidManifest file

uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15"
        android:targetSdkVersion="16"

It is for support of api level 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. But this app can be installed on 4.2 which has api level 17. Any ideas.

Answer 1

targetSdkVersion does not specify the max SDK API level. Use maxSdkVersion as well.

android:maxSdkVersion="16" :- This is the maximum SDK version number that an application works on. [integer]
