Definitions

SDKs

  • minSdk (Kotlin) / minSdkVersion (Groovy): The minimum SDK version your app will support, defined in build.gradle. For example, if your minSdk is 26, this SDK version corresponse to API Level 26 and Android 8, so your app will only run on devices with Android 8 or higher.
  • targetSdk (Kotlin) / targetSdkVersion (Groovy): The SDK version that your app targets, defined in build.gradle. This should always be the same as compileSdk.
  • compileSdk (Kotlin) / compileSdkVersion (Groovy): The SDK version that your app compiles against, defined in build.gradle. Android Studio uses this SDK version to build your AABs and APKs. This should always be the same as targetSdk.

Notes

  1. Cumulative usage distribution figures were last updated on August 11, 2020 using data from Statcounter GlobalStats. These figures may have changed significantly since the last update. You may update the figures yourself with a pull request. ↩

  2. The codenames for Android 10 and above in the table are the internal codenames. Beginning with Android 10, Google dropped the usage of codenames publicly.

  3. API Level 20 is missing from the table because it matches Android 4.4W, the version that makes Android available for Android Wear. ↩
