I'm trying to solve a problem (see previous posts) and wonder if the Google APIs I see in the SDK manager has anything to do with it. Which one should be installed, and which should be left out for the latest Android version? Thanks. Steve

BT v2 uses Google API 8 (v2.2) BT v3 uses Android API 4 (v14) & utilizes Google Play Services. Cheers! -- Smug

When I look at the app in my list of apps in BT, is says ver 1.0, created January 2013. Is that the same as the BT version you're talking about and if so, what API's do I use? I'm assuming not since I just created a test app and it says ver 1.0 Steve

Your "BT v1.0" is probably your 'app' version… that's something you'll change. It's not the Android or Google API version, which is only visible within your Eclipse setup. Checking your Android API will require you to start eclipse, select the project, and choose 'properties' from the menu, then selecting 'Android' from the left side of the dialog box. The right 'view pane' will display what API's are available, and which one you are using. Cheers! -- Smug

The only one listed in API 8 2.2 Should I add all the other Google ones, especially since my nexus is running 4.4.2?

Actually I see in the APK manager that they are all installed.

But which one is 'selected'…? That's the key. BTv2 = Google 2.2 (API8) BTv3 = Android 4.0 (API 14) Cheers! -- Smug

Again, I don't know which version of BT the app was compiled under. How do I find out? Steve

Hi Steve, In Eclipse, highlight your project, right click, select Properties, than Android. That'll give you a list of available Android and Google APIs, and one will be checked. Make sure it's the Android 4.0 API, and not the Google API (assuming you're using the Buzztouch v3 code). Mark

I have a similar question to Steve's. Just this week I am getting eclipse errors with API8 that I did not get a month ago. I have searched the forums for days and can not find how to determine whether I am using BTv2 or BTv3. I am wondering if BTv3 was just for self hosting which I haven't ventured into yet. Is there a guide to BTv3? p.s. This community is awesome. Clayton

Chris1 was tasked to update the documentation, but I'm not certain the current status. I just looked in my control panel; BTv2 Android doesn't look like it's available anymore. Until the documentation is updated the BTv2 instructions are pretty 'close'. If anything in particular hangs you up, just yell on the forum and someone can nudge you in the right direction! Cheers! -- Smug

So is BTV3 only for self hosted. I just use the BT web based control panel.

No, it's in both BT Hosted or Self Hosted. Cheers! -- Smug

thanks smug. I just figured it out. I didn't notice before that the instruction pdf is now for V3.(major differences). Unfortunately this brings up another question. When we use a build path of Android 4.2 will the app work on Gingerbread 2.6 phones. I am now getting a Parse Error when trying to install the App. 1 step forward and 2 steps back :) thanks again

I have what I am sure is a very simple question. How the heck do you post a new thread in the forum. I can't find the link anywhere.

Go to the main Forum page, click on a category on the right side, and you'll see a New Post button in the upper right. You have to be in a category first before it'll show you the post button. Mark

thanks Mark. I knew I was missing something... So as mentioned earlier in this thread, Does BT V3 mean that I can no longer compile apps for Gingerbread phones.. I have a few apps that I made for our team at work who all have Samsung S2's and we are not allowed to upgrade anything on them. I sure hope there is some way around it.

Hi @cl8, Unfortunately, unless you can get a hold of the BT v2 code, you won't be able to run it on Ginerbread (Android API6). There have been so many changes in the Android API that Buzztouch had to put a stake in the ground somewhere, and what they've chosen still supports a good 95% of the market! Mark

Thanks Mark.. When you say "find a copy of BT v2 code" I assume you mean I will need figure out the self hosting stuff. My team has quite a few phones running Gingerbread and we are not allowed to upgrade them yet.

Yep. I'm not sure how you can do that...If you're running BT Server v3, then I don't think that the older code is available. But it's worth checking out. I'm assuming that if Buzztouch removed the v2 download for the main site, they've removed it for BT Server as well. I can verify in a bit. Mark
