Android change SDK version in Eclipse? Unable to resolve target android-x

Question

I developed an Android aplication against 2.1 SDK. Since then I have re-installed Eclipse/Android SDK; with the new install, I want to 'upgrade' the dependancy of the Android application to 2.2 SDK (because I dont want 2.1 installed on my machine). Is this possible? I am getting the following error from eclipse:

[2010-08-31 18:18:32 - AndroidApplication] Unable to resolve target 'android-7'

Answer 1

If you're using eclipse you can open default.properties in your workspace and change the project target to the new sdk (target=android-8 for 2.2). I accidentally selected the 1.5 sdk for my version and didn't catch it until much later, but updating that and restarting eclipse seemed to have done the trick.
