There seems to be a breaking change in SDK 2.3 that causes applications compiled on it to fail to work on Android 2.0 devices. (Although Android 2.0 is officially gone, I'm unfortunately stuck with a bunch of Motorola Milestones that I got from Expansys which haven't gotten OTR updates yet).
It seems to be an issue with resources, exactly like the one mentioned here, however on a 2.0 device instead of a 1.6 or earlier device. I can put all the resources in /res/drawable/, however I want the hdpi versions to appear instead of the mdpi versions (which I believe is the default for /res/drawable/).
I figured I could just use an older copy of the SDK (the 2.2 SDK was able to make apks that my Milestones were happy with), but I can't seem to find a download link for it anymore.
Are there any suggestions on how I can get my hdpi graphics on a 2.0 device?
(In parallel, I'm attempting to contact Motorola and get the devices upgraded via OTR. Unfortunately, many of them are deployed in the field and can't be updated via USB).
main.xml to add: <ImageView android:src="@drawable/icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> somewhere.5: app will load. Icon may or may not appear depending on main.xml.
5: app crashes on start, see the aforementioned question for the approximate stacktrace.
This question really should be a bug report with Android and it only applies to an Android version that has 0% market share, so I'm marking it answered. Good luck to anyone else who has this issue: I recommend upgrading your devices manually; that's what I ended up doing.
