It would be nice if there was some rudimentary app analytics that just reported the bare minimum, stuff like Android version, device model, etc.. Such information seems like it would be quite valuable for being able to answer questions such as "How many users would be affected by dropping support for Android version <whatever>." Of course, a poll is better than nothing. How can we best spread the word about it? |

Not sure if I am sending this to the correct people about 'what version of Android are you running xDrip On'. Personally I am using Android 6. That seems to be a very stable version since I have heard problems with later versions.

All valid points
Please note that I just help. I am not the head developer. I am hardly a developer as I have just learned the little bit I know by working on xDrip.
The reason I opened this poll was just curiosity. I had no idea how many would take it. What we see now can be a sign that not many people are aware of these discussions.
What you say about a poll possibly not being a valid representation of all users is a valid point.
I suggest that the exact same concern will exist if we do exactly what you suggest. There will be no way to know if those who choose to participate will be randomly distributed. For all we know those who decide not to participate or those who cannot participate because they have no reasonable access to the internet are the same people who cannot afford to buy an Android 5 phone.
The fact is that Android 4 coverage was once removed and there were complaints after. So, it had to be undone.
Spending time doing something and having to undo it is not something the head developer is looking forward to.
I wonder if he can let us do it. I for one don't mind work that has to be undone because I am learning in the process.
Thanks for a conversation

Currently, you can run xDrip on any Android phone as long as it is Android 4 or above.
It helps to know how many users still need xDrip to run on Android 4.
Please respond below and choose the Android level you are using.
The question is not if you have an Android 4 device and you may like to use xDrip on it.
The question is if you are actively using a phone that has only Android 4 on it for running xDrip, and if xDrip stops supporting Android 4, you will be in serious trouble because you have, and you will have, no other phone.
