  1. Yes, you can make an Android project which must be run in below API level 14:

Step1: Create a normal project using Android Studio (MinSDK: 15)

Step2: Update your build.gralde: minSDKVersion to lower than 14 (i.e: 9), targetSDKVersion to 14 and compileSDKVersion to 14:

Later, you have to remove other stuffs like Themes, support library, etc.

  1. You can download a emulator which lowest API version is 10: enter image description here

  • Yes, just remove them. And your Activity should extends Activity, not extends AppCompatActivity anymore – Cao Minh Vu Feb 23 '18 at 09:44
  • i think it will create problem in api level 14 above – oo7 Feb 23 '18 at 09:48
  • and when we go to create emulator below 14 all are showing deprecated , so how can i download it, i have same issue before some day – oo7 Feb 23 '18 at 09:49
  • AppCompat libraries use some classes, methods which are available on API > 14 only, hence, they should be removed. You can google to download emulator images. I.e https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/android-237-gingerbread-x86-emulator-system-image – Cao Minh Vu Feb 23 '18 at 09:56
