Hello there, I have a problem with renderscript support, I'am using eclipse with updated Android SDK build tools, I have a renderscript app that has android:minSdkVersion= 8 and android:targetSdkVersion= 19 attributes set. On android 4.4 it runs, but when I try to run it on android 2.2 I get the following console output, "Installation failed due to invalid APK file!
Please check logcat output for more details.
Launch canceled! ". Why is the APK invalid? renderscript support is supposed to support android 2.2 as well.

Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

When developing an Android application that uses RenderScript, you can access its API in one of two ways:

android.renderscript - The APIs in this class package are available on devices running Android 3.0 (API level 11) and higher. These are the original APIs for RenderScript and are not currently being updated.
android.support.v8.renderscript - The APIs in this package are available through a Support Library, which allows you to use them on devices running Android 2.2 (API level 8) and higher.
