How to compile for Android 2.3 with Delphi XE7

Question

Delphi XE7 comes with FireMonkey for creating Android Apps. After I tryed some codes, I created an APK and tested with My Note2. Works fine. But when I tested with an Android 2.3 samsung phone I couldn't. The excuse is that this version is not supported? I undertand that I need to install API10 in my SDK Manager. But what about the NDK. Where should I download the correct version of this tool to compile to Android 2.3?

Answer 1

To find out if your device is supported check out this excerpt from Brian Long's blog post :

(From the Android SDK directory) ... run the command:

adb devices

just to prove that your device can be seen by the Android tool chain. Assuming it can, run:

adb -d shell cat /proc/cpuinfo

Check the Processor line to ensure you are running ARMv7. In the Features line check that NEON is included in the CPU feature list
