Question

Google’s docs say to use this kind of code to ensure new code is not executed on old platforms:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
    ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
    actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}

But when I do that, Eclipse still gives me warnings: “Call requires API level 11 (current min is 7)”. What I want is to have my minimum version set to something lower than Honeycomb, have the above conditional statement protect me from running new code on old devices, and not have compiler warnings.

How do I do it?

Answer 1

Add @TargetApi(11) before method.
