1,579 Pointsyep.. well its with the CreateActivity template... i verified and if we go with FullScreen Template its doing ok on kindle android 2.3 , so i believe Master/Detail template only works on API level of 11 or higher...
nwaz i will try and emulate different Templates once i get this app working with Master/Detail template..
Thanks

Treehouse Project ReviewerI've had to do the same... and it takes a little bit of work on your part. The instructions are pretty nicely laid out here by Amazon.

Treehouse Project ReviewerYou can check for updates on the tablet, or you can venture into the realm of putting a new OS on your tablet!
Another challenge would be to figure out how to get the Blog reader app to have compatibility with android 2.3 and above!

Treehouse Project ReviewerThe master detail template uses the ActionBar so you could implement something like ActionBarSherlock or ActionBarCompat and that will allow you to use Master/Detail on 2.3 of android.
