Parse error. There is a problem parsing the package.

Recently, when I developed an simple android application for version 3.0 (API 11) and tried to run this on version 2.3, I got this wierd problem. The error looks something like:


Parse error.

There is a problem parsing the package.


The solution to this problem was to specify the minSdkVersion to a version on which you are trying to run the application. In my case version 2.3.

Solution:
Edit your manifest file which contains the line


uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="11"


to


uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7"


or whatever is preferrable for you.
