Great work on prepping the initial work on apilevel7: https://github.com/cip/Wikipedia/tree/apilevel7

Send us a pull request as soon as your ready for testing with master. I'm going to assign the bug to you for now as your far ahead of anyone. We can adjust as needed later.

Search bar does not seem to work with apilevel 7:
Stays mostly at top of page (that is it scrolls with page), while stays at top of screen with android 2.2 (level 8) phone.
While I believe that this limitation would be acceptable, the real problem is that search bar sometimes jumps in the middle of the page (e.g. on opening articles).
I still believe stay that it's worth supporting apilevel 7, but this bugs would definitely need to be fixed before. (E.g. by having a static search bar on apilevel 7 phones)

Any progress on this? We will get some feedback from carriers that could affect this.

Could be worth re-examining after the recent change to div from iFrame. For v 1.1 only if it's actually possible.

We are currently planning not to work on this; position:fixed is only supported under Android 2.2 and later, and iscroll library is too slow on Android devices under 2.x (no hw accel for the rendering).
