Re-enable 3.2 support in app? #209

Closed catellie closed 11 years ago

catellie commented 11 years ago

Hi, I've used the old app on my 3.2 tablet (SGT 8.9) ever since it was made public and although not perfect it has been good enough. I've seen the note that you now will only target 4.x due to bugs but as I know may way around Android I downloaded the code and rebuilt it with minSdkVersion="13" - sadly it just shows a very simple text layout, so apparently there is more to it than that. Could anyone hint at what is the issue with supporting 3.2 so that I can either look into working around it or make me realize that it is hopeless? ;-) [I've considered installing CM10 on my tablet for quite some time now so maybe this is what will make me take that leap...] Thanks for your work!

One problem is, that the Android Webkit is generally broken...the other problem is that it is even more broken in previous Android Versions...There are a lot more bugs on ICS than on JB...and think that it is even worse on Honeycomb. The main problem is that I do not own any devices with Honeycomb installed. Furthermore, debugging IITCM with the Android Emulator is pain in the ass, so this is no option. In fact, it should work on Honeycomb too, but I am not able to support it.

This build starts on an Android 3.0 Emulator... http://iitcm.code-noobs.org/IITC_Mobile-Honeycomb-test.apk But as I said...I can't guarantee anything.

Edit: and yeah....go ahead and install CM10. JB is much better then Honeycomb... ;-)
