How to make a gradle android app compatible with above api version

Question

I have an app that works fine on API 19. However, I want it to work well in other API's as well. I'm targeting API 10 and above.

My gradle build looks like this:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 18
    buildToolsVersion "19.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 18
    }
}

But when I run the app on API 10 the AVD manager says compatible: no

How should I change my build so that it is compatible for API 10 and above?

Your gradle config looks correct. Be sure to check your virtual device settings and compare to what you have defined in your manifest file. Also be sure to check any other modules you may have added to the project and their respective gradle and manifest files.
