2 years ago i developed an app on android 4.2.2. I was wondering if the statistics are still the same?
If I developed it on android 4.2.2 now would it still be the best option? Will it be the optimum to reach the most devices?
Or is there a newer version that is mastering the market?
Thanks in advance.
It is recomended that you always look at the market share of the Android versions to choose your entry version. In the link below you can see the stats

As for today, I would recommend you to support API 15 and above (up to 21). It represents almost 90% of all devices, and as it represents Android 4.0, you can alredy use some Material design elements and use Fragments as you wish.
