cursor adapter sqlite android version change

I am using tutorial of sqlite i have adapted most of the code to my requirement but facing single error of android version requirement. Basically my app requires min api 8 and following code of tutorial requires min api 11:-

can anyone help me to convert same code to suit min api 8??

dataAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(
    this, R.layout.wiigsource, 
    cursor, 
    columns, 
    to,
    0);
Solution

  • The constructor that you are using is 

    public SimpleCursorAdapter (Context context, int layout, Cursor c, String[] from, int[] to, int flags)

    which was added in API 11 you can use constructor 

    public SimpleCursorAdapter (Context context, int layout, Cursor c, String[] from, int[] to)

    i.e remove the last argument 0. A detailed description about the two constructors can be found here

    Edit:

    But the above constructor is deprecated as rightly pointed out in the other answer. Therefore the best way would be to use 

    SimpleCursorAdapter(Context context, int layout, Cursor c, String[] from, int[] to, int flags)

    and import the simpleCursorAdapter from 

    import android.support.v4.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;

    package
