API level usually means the Android version. This determines which version developers are targeting for their app and the minimum Android version to run in their app. To define the minimum and maximum levels, Android Studio provides two terminologies.
minSdkVersion: means the minimum version of the Android operating system that the application supports
targetSdkVersion: This is the version for which developers are actually developing their application.
The application is compatible with all Android versions which are between the minimum SDK level and the target SDK. Sometimes it is necessary to change the Android Studio API level during development. We have two methods to change the API level.
