Using AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter before api 11

Question

How do I use AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter for minSDK lower than API-11? The following constructor is complaining about needing API-11.

public DogSyncAdapter(Context context, boolean autoInitialize, boolean allowParallelSyncs) {
    super(context, autoInitialize, allowParallelSyncs);
  }

Answer 1

As it says in the documentation:

Api level 5:

public AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter (Context context, boolean autoInitialize)

Api level 11:

public AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter (Context context, boolean autoInitialize, boolean allowParallelSyncs)

So you just need to implement both constructors, and then call one or other:

if (sSyncAdapter == null) {
                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
                    sSyncAdapter = new NotificationsSyncAdapter(getApplicationContext(), true, true);
                } else {
                    sSyncAdapter = new NotificationsSyncAdapter(getApplicationContext(), true);
                }
            }
