We have an app which is very involved with contact data, and will need
to be ported to the new contacts APIs to work properly under 2.0.

It looks like the change will affect quite a lot of code, so ideally
we would fork the project, make the right changes, and then have 1.6
and 2.0 builds in the market. We would need to maintain both branches
for a few months, till 2.0 is widely deployed, then move forwards from
the new branch.

We can't do that as long as the Market doesn't support multiple builds
per app, obviously. What else can we do ?

There's reflection, of course:
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/backward-compatibility-for-android.html
which would let us build some kind of cross-version-compatible wrapper
for both contacts APIs. Is that really the only way ? Is anyone
solving the problem in any tidier ways ?

Thanks,

Richard
