Minimum Android Version - Standalone - Studio

I want to use Android 2.3. Unfortunately, the LC standalone settings only allow back to 4.1. I went back to Android Studio and installed 2.3, restarted Livecode, and my options are still limited to no earlier than 4.1. The SDK package folder was indeed modified after the Studio install.

Any suggestions on how I build for a minimum requirement of 2.3?

Wonder if an earlier version of LiveCode might do the trick?

Might be a non-starter, as I will need some features from LC 9.0. But, good idea.

Richmond is correct, you'd need an older version of LiveCode to address that older version of Android.

Please be very careful with that device. Android 2.3 hasn't had a security update in nearly a decade, and like any complex software known vulnerabilities exist. Given modern automated exploit capabilities, using such an older version in any context that has access to the Internet carries a high risk of having the device compromised.
