How to change target build on Android project

Question

I currently have an Android project in Eclipse   I created it with a target build of 1 5  sdk 3    Now I want to change it so that it has a minSdk of 3 and targetSdk of 8   To do this I see that I must build against the newest SDK  2 2   To do this in Eclipse I right click on my project  go to properties  click on Android and change the project build target to Android 2 2 and click apply and then ok   However this appears to have no affect and when I try it again the target build is set back at Android 1 5   Am I missing a step or something

The problem sometimes occurs when there are errors in the project.

For instance, if your project is configured with a target of 3.2 but the 3.2 libraries are not available, you will not be able to change the version to 4.0!

The usual (perhaps brutal) solution I use is to create a new project with the correct target and copy src, res and manifest into the new project.

Update:

This seems to work:

Change the selected through the build properties as normal
Manually edit project.properties AND default.properties to make sure they both reflect the desired target.
Close the project and re-open it

I always run Android Tools | Fix Project Properties after making any changes to the build target.

I had this problem too  What worked for me was to first un-check the previously selected SDK version before checking the new desired version  Then click okay

Well I agree with Ryan Conrad on how to do it in eclipse  have you ensured you have changed your manifest xml     lt uses-sdk android minSdkVersion  3    gt    lt uses-sdk android targetSdkVersion  8    gt

Another way on the command line if you are using ant is to use the android bat script  Windows  or android script  Mac    It s in  SDK DIR tools     If you say    android bat update project --path    --target  android-8    it will regenerate your build xml  AndroidManifest xml  etc

You should not have multiple  uses-sdk  tags in your file  ref - docs  Use this syntax       lt uses-sdk android minSdkVersion  integer            android targetSdkVersion  integer            android maxSdkVersion  integer    gt
