Absolutely. It's part of the bedrock of Android itself -- the ability to code to higher API levels yet run them on older devices, so long as you don't try *executing* anything that is too new (though the story gets a bit more complicated for Android 1.x). I do it every damn day and twice on Sundays. :-) > I'll re-code the section using Build.VERSION and see if I can get the > other developer to drop that in. There are certainly places where just handling the runtime exception is OK (e.g., ActivityNotFoundException), but I wouldn't do that here. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
