minSdk |
minSdkVersion |
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 |
targetSdkVersion |
The SDK version that your app targets, defined in build.gradle. This should always be the same as compileSdk. |
compileSdk |
compileSdkVersion |
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. |
| Variable | Definition |
|---|---|
Build.VERSION.SDK_INT |
The SDK version of the Android OS currently running on the user's device. For example, on a device running Android 11, this value will be 30 (aka Build.VERSION_CODES.R), even if the target and compile SDK of the app is different. |
