This is the code raising the error :
MainActivity.java :
// Init application context
myApplicationContext = new MyApplicationContext(this,
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay());
MyApplicationContext.java :
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB_MR2)
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public void setScreenDimensions(Display display) {
Point size = new Point();
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 13) {
this.screenWidth = display.getWidth();
this.screenHeight = display.getHeight();
} else {
try {
display.getSize(size);
this.screenWidth = size.x;
this.screenHeight = size.y;
} catch (java.lang.NoSuchMethodError ignore) { // Older device
this.screenWidth = display.getWidth();
this.screenHeight = display.getHeight();
}
}
}
