Description
Currently we are having a min api requirement of api level 8. Thats Android 2.2 (Froyo). Can we bump this up a bit? Currently only 0.3% of android phones are running Froyo :)
I'm not sure what a reasonable API requirement would be, i would prefer something very recent like 21, but more realistically 16 (Jelly Bean) or 19 (Kit Kat that has the largest market share).
The reason for doing this is to be able to use some more modern apis, specifically i'm having trouble with the camera code right now.
