Which are the minimum API requirements of the compatibility package?

Question

I know the Compatibility Package is very useful and provides backward compatibility. One thing i am not sure, will all the libraries in the package can be used on all version of Android let say above 2.1.

Read the docs... it's a second away in Google. But just in case, read answer below. — davidcesarino, Jul 16 '12 at 22:30

Note: The Support Package includes more than one support library. Each one has a different minimum API level. For example, one library requires API level 4 or higher, while another requires API level 13 or higher (v13 is a superset of v4 and includes additional support classes to work with v13 APIs). The minimum version is indicated by the directory name, such as v4/ and v13/.

To support 2.1, use compatibility library "v4".

And obviously, you'll be limited to what the v4 provides. – davidcesarino Jul 16 '12 at 22:35 — davidcesarino, Jul 16 '12 at 22:35
