You actually don't need to do something that complicated. You can just
define your own custom theme that switches based on the API version... hm
I thought this was documented, but maybe I saw it in some newer in-progress
documentation. Anyway, just define a theme that inherits from the pre-v11
theme you want:
<style name="MyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme" />
Then in a values-v11/styles.xml file define a different version that uses
the v11 theme:
<style name="MyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo" />
Also, if you are using the Holo theme you *really* should be setting
android:targetSdkVersion="11" or greater, since using Holo means you know
about the newer platform version and want it treating you as a modern app.
This includes removing the menu button, amongst other things.
