Hi, I have created an application which is targeted for platforms of Android 2.2 (API 8). However, there are users who have phones with an API Level 15 and my application doesnt work on theirs. How do i go about fixing this issue so that it is compatible for all applications?

Thnx

That depends, what errors are you getting on API 15-based devices?

I've made advanced app with API 7 or 8 as target.
But they always run on my phones, what has Android 4.0.3 (API 15)

The error that i am receiving is Thread.Stop. I still havent came to understand whats wrong with it.

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
at java.lang.Thread.stop(Thread.java:1076)
at java.lang.Thread.stop(Thread.java:1063)
at mi.ara.Splash$1.run(Splash.java:38)

There must be more in the logcat.
Like "caused by .. "
Post everything that the logcat displays from that moment you start the app, to i crashes.
And post it between code-tags

Hi, i wouldnt know what its caused by as i have an android 2.2 phone (API 8) and not a android version 4.0.3 (API 15).
How do i go about finding out the issues for the 4.0.3 version phone as i dont have one?

Use an emulator that runs 4.0.3

The error seams to occur at line 38 in Splash.java, do you have a file in you project called "Splash.java"?

[sgt.assassin]

oh okay. I do have a splash.java file but it doesn't show any error.

[EndLessMind]

But there are.
You don't see it in the code, it's caused in runtime.
Post the code from the Splash.java

Sorry for the late reply. I reside in the UK so it was my bedtime.

package kamal.uddin;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.content.Intent;



public class Splash extends Activity {
		protected boolean _active = true;
	    protected int _splashTime = 5000;
	  
	    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
	    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
	      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
	    setContentView(R.layout.main);
	       	
       
        // thread for displaying the SplashScreen
        Thread splashTread = new Thread() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    int waited = 0;
                    while(_active && (waited < _splashTime)) {
                        sleep(100);
                        if(_active) {
                            waited += 100;
                        }
                    }
                } catch(InterruptedException e) {
                    // do nothing
                } finally {
                    finish();
                    startActivity(new Intent("com.android.splashscreen.KamalUddinIllallahActivity"));
                    stop();
                }
            }
        };
        splashTread.start();
    }
    
    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            _active = false;
        }
        return true;
 
    }
    }

Okay, you don't use "stop();" in a thread. You use " interrupt();"

Oh okay, it seems to work on the AVD. I really appreciate your help. Thank you sooo much. I have another query regarding the layout of the application. If i have created the application in 2.2 android plaform and a user who decides to download the application and has a phone which is on 4.0.3 platform the layout of the application on the 4.0.3 phone tends to mess up. how do i go about correcting this?
