how to make my application supported tablets in android?

Question

My application have minSdkVersion="8" & targetSdkVersion="9".

Also added

 <uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.telephony"
        android:required="false" />
    <uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.location"
        android:required="false" />

in manifest file. And i did not use <support-screens> in my application's manifest. Because I think it is true by default.

While downloading this application from android market using Samsung Galaxy tab GT-P1000 (Android OS 2.2) it works fine, but when downloading using Penta Tab IS709C (Android OS 4.0.4) this shows 'App not compatible with this application' error.

What is the issue here. How can I make my application have support for all phones and tablets?

What is meant by targetSdkVersion? I did not get it. How can i specify targetSdkVersion for applications? — Asha Soman, Aug 02 '13 at 06:15
Your `android:maxSdkVersion` must be bigger or equal to 15 in order to support Android OS 4.0.4. -> see here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels — g00dy, Aug 02 '13 at 06:17
@AshaSoman http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html. also check the warning. it says not recommended to use `android:maxSdkVersion` — Raghunandan, Aug 02 '13 at 06:17

Do not set maxSDKVersion, it is not a good practice.

just change your target SDK

 <uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
