Earlier today I published a Hacker News app to the Android Market and disappointed a lot of people because the app wouldn't run on their devices. See http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1097568

So, I recompiled for 1.6 (G1), but I couldn't compile error free for 1.1 and 1.5 (Hero) - complaints about the "res" folder. I'll have to follow-up and see how to fix that. The URL I posted here is a blog post where I assembled a bunch of links that deal with Android versioning woes. I'm very open to guidance on this topic.

Those of us stuck with 1.5 are really getting left behind these days.

I'm running into this issue. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4303 Is the solution to learn how to work without Eclipse? I'm only now getting over the pain of learning how to work WITH Eclipse.
