performance - Android target-version advantages -


i first wrote android app targeted version 2.2. later got android 4.1.2 device.

i upgraded target , minimum 4.1.2. 1 advantage new runtime exception networkonmainthreadexception, causes app crash instead of having non-responsive gui. advantages when developing.

however, there other advantages, besides @ developement time? instance, can 4.1.2 device run 4.1.2 app faster 2.2 app?

the main advantage when target newer version of android able access new goodies such new apis , services app can make use of. functionality may improved improve performance or fix bugs.

regarding app run faster 4.1.2 2.2 app, not necessarily, dependant on android os , not app. example, 4.3 release , has many speed improvements 4.2. if target app 4.2 run on 4.3, app run faster due 4.3 having speed improvements. if targeted app 4.3 there little difference in performance.

hope helps.
