Tool to Check if code contains higher API calls than minimum level

I am working with a large project, which has a minimum API level:16. however, I came across API usages that are above API level 16.

Is there any tool in Android studio or elsewhere, other than testing with a device, to check if the code doesn't violate the minimum required API level or better point it out like an error etc.?

Thank you.

Solution

  • The IDE will use the minimum android SDK, thus you will not get compile errors. If you there are classes in SDK 14 which are moved in sdk 16, yet you are using the imports from SDK 14, it will give a standard compile error.

    So no, not that I am aware of.
