OpenLara doesn't work on Android versions before 4.3

Open Raypuia opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

I curious if older versions of Android starting with 4.0.3 / 4.0.4 (API 15) can be supported?

Since many features from actual APIs can be handled properly in older versions, an example of that is PPSSPP cuz supports Cardboard in 4.0.3, and many older games & emulators can use gamepads in those devices using Bluetooth or OTG (i have a Samsung Galaxy Note, so pretty much can confirm this)

It was, but for gamepads and cardboard support I increase minimum version. Will experiment with it.

Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 12, or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 19, or use tools:overrideLibrary="com.google.vr.sdk.base" to force usage (may lead to runtime failures)

API version 19 (Android 4.4) Google TV support require API version 21 (Android 5.0)

Force usage? Hmm... Would need to test to see how works.

And also, a suggestion i have is to make OpenLara to detect the API to see if is compatible with VR features and disable it if finds a API with no Cardboard support
