Is it possible to create a generic android application that uses contacts (though a contentResolver) that will run on all android versions > 1.5 ?
I have backward compatibility issues where f.i. my HTC Hero which is upgraded to Android 2.1 is not able to use the People.CONTENT_URI even though this is meant to be deprecated - not unsupported! If I include the new API style ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI (with or without a check on the Build.SDK_VERSION to alternatively load the old style URI - similar to the Businesscard example - http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/BusinessCard/index.html) I would still have to set up Eclipse to use the Android 2.1 libraries. Would this application still run on an Android 1.5 device if I keep the minsdkversion in the manifest at 3? I would like to avoid having to branch my application, create 2 eclipse projects and release 2 different applications. Any advice on this?
