Android 1.6 to 2.2

Question

Hi,

I'm developing a simple app for Android-2.2. What are some key features that can make the app not work for 1.6?

Answer 1

That's a big topic. The move from 1.6 to 2.0 saw some pretty big changes and then there were some significant changes from 2.1 to 2.2. I would check out the Android 2.2 platform highlights to get an idea of what's new in 2.2 for starters. If you're building a "simple" app, I would imagine it will still work without much trouble. AFAIK, the biggest changes to the platform from a developer standpoint is the media framework additions. I would also check out the Android 2.0 platform highlights as well to get an idea of what changed from 1.6 to 2.0.
