Android – Eclipse: Application does not specify API level

May 18, 2011

When compiling and running any app in the emulator if you keep getting this warning in eclipse:

WARNING: Application does not specify an API level requirement!

then you have to add <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=”4″ />
It should be outside of <application> but inside <manifest>

you can do this when you create new project, in this time put the value of emulator min sdk version in min Sdk filed.
