Hi,

I want to avoid the SDK 1.0 and 1.1 workaround for playing synthesized
audio as of SDK1.5, but for older phones or firmware (SDK 1.0 and 1.1
based) I want to maintain backward compatibility and first write audio
to flash memory in order to play the resulting audio file from there.
That is in pseudocode,

if (phone_supports_SDK1.5) {
   // Use new AudioTrack API to play in-memory audio
else {  // SDK 1.0 and 1.1 phones
   // Write to flash and play file with MediaPlayer
}

How can I do this? In Java ME I would check for missing classes, but
what is the best way to do this in Android? Clearly I want to skip the
old crude workaround on newer phones without breaking functionality on
older phones - and not release more than one APK file. (So the
"minSdkVersion" must remain at 1 or 2.) Obviously the older phones
must not "see" the code in the SDK1.5 branch. Must one do a try-catch
on class.forName("android.media.AudioTrack"), or does Android offer
some other mechanism to create backward compatible applications?

Thanks
