Android minSDKVersion and targetSDKVerion

Question

I am very new to android. If this is the very basic question . bear with me.

I have set like below in my AndroidMenifest.

  <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="11"
        android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

wont my application run after API level 17 and below API level 11 ?

I am using SDK Platform 17. can i mention targetSDKVersion as 18?

Ofcourse it will run.Run it in the emulator and test it. – Spring Breaker Oct 10 '13 at 05:59 — Spring Breaker, Oct 10 '13 at 05:59

Yes your application will run on API level 18 but will not run below API 11. You can set maxSdkVersion using android:maxSdkVersion="18". If you set this then your app will not work on api level 19.
