Android versions in my android application

I have created an android application and in that application I created folder 'values' and 'values-v14' in res folder.

What will happen if my application installing in version of 15, from where will it take the values: from values or values-v14?

See How Android Finds the Best-matching Resource.

Description for Platform Version (API level) qualifier on the same page:

The API level supported by the device. For example, v1 for API level 1 (devices with Android 1.0 or higher) and v4 for API level 4 (devices with Android 1.6 or higher). See the Android API levels document for more information about these values.

Caution: Android 1.5 and 1.6 only match resources with this qualifier when it exactly matches the platform version. See the section below about Known Issues for more information.

So v14 resources will be chosen for API level 14 devices and higher otherwise values folder will be used.
