Min SDK > Device SDK

[kprime]

Hi,

I’m trying to run an app I made from Android Studio on a HTC tablet. The app runs from an ASUS tablet but when I try to run it on the HTC tablet, it will not let me select the device because the min SDK less than the device SDK. I tried lowering the SDK level in gradle script but it will not allow me to because it says some library’s min sdk is 14.

Just want to understand exactly what this means. In android studio the lowest sdk you can select is 14 so is there a way to program apps for this device? Is there a way around this?

Thanks.

The only way is to adapt your code or code of libraries to required level of SDK(which is lower than 14, if get you right).
