Imported android project to Eclipse: Cant compile

I have imported a project to Eclipse. The version of the API was 15 and it compiled successfully, but I needed 7th because on my phone the OS cannot be updated. After changing the version of the Android API to older one (7th) I can't compile the project, the follwing errors occures:

import android.hardware.usb.UsbConstants;
import android.hardware.usb.UsbDevice;
import android.hardware.usb.UsbDeviceConnection;
import android.hardware.usb.UsbEndpoint;
import android.hardware.usb.UsbInterface;
import android.hardware.usb.UsbManager;

It says R cannot be resolved to a variable:

setContentView(R.layout.main);

And in main.xml

android:layout_width="match_parent"

it says: String types not allowed (at 'layout_width' with value 'match_parent').

Is it possible to resolve this errors, but still using the old API version?

If you need the USB functionality: No. It exists since API level 12.

You have to compile your project with the latest Android Api. Project Properties -> Android -> Android 4.0

In the manifest, you can set the 

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />

If you are not using any library or new feature, it should work.
