My Android app does not support all Android Devices on google play

Question

I have new Android App published on Google Play. What should I add Or remove from manifest file so it must be support all android phones and tabs.

Answer 1

You need to setup minSdkVersion in AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="1"
    android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

But you need to make shure that your app will work correct on all devices.

Answer 2

Android xml:

API-compatibility:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="1"
          android:targetSdkVersion="~"/>

Display-compatibility:

    <supports-screens 
            android:xlargeScreens="true"
            android:largeScreens="true" 
            android:normalScreens="true" 
            android:smallScreens="true" 
            android:anyDensity="true"  
        />

In the Google Play developer console, select your application, go to 'APK', and make sure no devices are excluded.

I just uploaded a test application, and I managed to support 4400 of 4444 devices. The excluded ones were some Google TV devices, and other cryptic apparatuses. I think that is good enough...

Answer 3

set the target sdk values in AndroidManifest.XML of your project

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="integer"
          android:targetSdkVersion="integer"
          android:maxSdkVersion="integer" />

Yous should keep android:minSdkVersion as 1 and android:targetSdkVersion as 19 (Android KitKat) Refer http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html
