You need to read this carefully: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html

If you haven't done that so far, chances are you also haven't read the other pages in the "Publishing" section - you should do so before progressing.

I chage the manifest file as below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.virtual.location"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0">
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="32" />

    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:name=".ShowLocation"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

    </application>
</manifest>

but when i run this it gives me this error

I chnage the manifest file apk to 32 as market requirs it.but my phone requires api 10.so what to do ?

[Tim Moores]

Where on earth did you get the idea that 32 was an acceptable number for android:minSdkVersion? And what does this have to do with the previous question? Did you read the page I pointed you to? All of it? In detail? Were there parts that maybe you felt you didn't understand?

[shawn peter]

I read it.Anyway i am unable to find it.
Still i am getting error when uploading apk.
[code]
Market requires the minSdkVersion to be set to a positive 32-bit integer in AndroidManifest.xml.
/[code]

[Tim Moores]

Oh boy. "A positive 32-bit integer" to you is the same as "32"? While it is true that 32 is a 32-bit integer, the same is true for all number from 1 to 2^32-1. Randomly picking one (whether it is 32 or some other number) is a bad approach for getting things done. So in addition to the pages I mentioned earlier, you also need to read this page: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html about the <uses-sdk> element.

Realistically, you should read a book Android from A to Z, as your approach to learning seems to be to pick random bits of information here and there and try to connect them somehow without understanding what they actually mean.
