minumum APK API level in kivy

[husam alkdary]

It's possible to build an APK with API level less then 19 ?

Theoretically yes. But you would need to check out very old versions and almost certainly will end in unhappiness. But there would be no point as you could not distribute or upload such an APK anymore. Rather just use the latest defaults? Why would you want API < 19 anyway?

Lots of things are possible, some of them are not a good idea. ;)

As I understand it the minimum recommended versions are API 21 which is Android 5

So even 19 which might appear to work is not a good idea.

the reason for making apk with api level less then 19 
it because u want my app to run on all the android mobiles in the world 
so how I can do that if it's possible

Zen already answered this:

But you would need to check out very old versions (of Kivy) and almost certainly will end in unhappiness. But there would be no point as you could not distribute or upload such an APK anymore.

His advice is excellent read it again:  almost certainly will end in unhappiness.

@husam alkdary. I know. I understand. We all want our software to run on every device ever invented. But Android deliberately prevents this. Previous versions of android allowed access which is now considered insecure. And google change their APsI and deliberately deprecate old API versions and remove them. Forcing you to use later API's is deliberate behavior. It may be in your interests to run on all versions, but it's not in googles interest and it's not in your users interest. They have a right to ensure you app complies with the behavior of their version of android, not a version released 5 years ago.

So get over it. Just like you can't run kivy on a 333mhz pentium without any graphics card, you can't run Kivy on Android 1.0. Sorry. You need to use supported versions or face a lifetime of struggle and disappointment. :-)
