Does it support for android 2.1 or 2.2 ?

I think Chromium only builds for Android 4 or above.

Not only does Chromium just build for Android 4+, but the Chromium build in the repo (and the ChromeView class itself) depend on API v16, which belongs to Android 4.1, which would weed 4.0.x out (almost 30% user share as of April 2013).

One example of this is the usage of the android.webkit.WebView.FindListener class in ChromeView's setFindListener.

So to fully support Android 4+ it might be necessary to make two different builds using different Chromium versions: one for 4.0.x and another for 4.1.x and above.

@pwnall does that make sense?

@invernizzie I have min-sdk set to 14 on the Eclipse project. Does that not do the trick?

@invernizzie Worst-case, I'll figure this out in a month or so, when I publish my code on the Android Market. I don't want to lose the Android 4.0 users if I can help it :)
