I think what Dianne was suggesting might be something like doing a
switch on the user's Android version... This isn't necessarily working
code but should give you an idea:
Edit e = prefs.Editor();
e.put("Whatever","Data");
switch(android.os.Build.VERSION)
{
case Build.GINGERBREAD:
e.apply();
break;
default:
e.commit();
}
It's simple enough unless you have your preference writing routines
scattered all over the place, in which case you could simply write a
function to write preferences.

You should do this based on API level. If an API is not
documented as available prior to a particular version, there are
no guarantees what any existing method would do in the earlier
versions. For example, not infrequently a new API is being
developed but hidden from a particular release because it is not
ready yet due to being buggy or other reasons that could cause you
trouble. (I have no idea if that is the case here, but best to be
safe.)

As per the StrictMode article (
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-gingerbread-api-strictmode.html
), I devided to switch over using apply() instead of commit()
for my
SharedPreferences.
So I wrote my nice conditional logic based on the API level and to
test to see what happens, I ran it on my 2.2 Nexus One, fully
expecting a VerifyError because of the missing API. To my
surprise, I
didn't get that error. So I fired up the emulator and
confirmed that
all the day down to Level 7, the supposedly new API does not
trigger a
VerifyError. It does level 4 or below as expected.
What's going on here? Has the apply() method really been
there since
Level 7 undocumented? If so, is it safe for me to check if the
current API level >= 7 and use apply()?
