Android app for all devices

Question

I'm working on an app that is targeted for version 2.3 so that it will run on my sister's phone. However, I can run 4.0 on my phone. I want to add some swipe animations and such but I don't run the animations to run on her phone.

Is this even possible?

Answer 1

Yes, simply put the API specific code in a if/else block, so it is only called when the system supports it:

Like this:

if (currentapiVersion < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
//do things that are only supported on JellyBean
} else {
//do the other stuff
}
