<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.msapp2"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="18"
        android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
    <!--  need for streaming video + about page -->

            android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize">

Try using:

<uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

EDIT: this and this

The docs are a little fuzzy, but what they say is that the target SDK version is used to determine if android should enable compatibility layers. for example, If your min SDK was 8, but your target SDK was 19, you are telling android that while there's no reason it shouldn't work on version 8, you've only tested on 19. Therefore, if there any compatibility settings to enable between level 8 and 19, they can be set. note that this attribute may actually do nothing depending on the actual min / target values.

If you set min SDK == target, you are essentially saying you have tested on the lowest API level you claim to support, which is a good thing.

You have written latest version as android:targetSdkVersion="18" ( Android 4.3 ) in your manifest.xml file, But I assume you have latest version in your SDK, probably 19the version.

Since it is just a Warning, so you can ignore if you are not targeting your application to Kitkat version ( 4.4.2 ).

Otherwise solution is to change it to android:targetSdkVersion="19"
