I've tested this code as well and it is indeed backward. Using this solution, I need to set your "API Target Level" to 5 (Android 2.0), and set the minimum (android:minSdkVersion) to 3 (Android 1.5). This way I am able to compile code which reference API 5 methods and run on older devices. However, there is a major problem with that. I can't run or debug this code on older devices (<2.0) using the Eclipse plug-in. Anyone having the same problem?
This makes testing and debugging applications on older devices difficult. Aren't we doing all the extra work for the application to run on the older platforms?? Anyway, I think I have a solution (and I would like to get feedback from google guys as well): - Create a new "Java Project" - Add the "..platforms\android-2.0\Android.Jar" to the Libraries. - Write your 2.0 code in this project. - In your main project, reference the new project. - Now you can compile, run and Debug on all devices. * Whatever design pattern you choose for the loading of the new code - Don't forget to instantiate the classes by name (as in the examples above). Any other ideas?
