Question

I am getting a runtime NoSuchMethodError when trying to use CamcorderProfile.hasProfile(xyz).
In my app’s manifest the correct API are specified

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="8" />

and this is the block I would like to use

CamcorderProfile cf = CamcorderProfile.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_LOW);
if (CamcorderProfile.hasProfile(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_480P)) {
   cf = CamcorderProfile.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_480P);
} else if (CamcorderProfile.hasProfile(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_CIF)) {
    cf = CamcorderProfile.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_CIF);
} else if (CamcorderProfile.hasProfile(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_QVGA)) {
   cf = CamcorderProfile.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_QVGA);
}

I don’t get any errors in Eclipse when writing / building, even code completion works fine.
EDIT at this point I run the code on a few devices (Galaxy, Incredible and Desire).

The stacktrace error is

E/AndroidRuntime(12499): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
E/AndroidRuntime(12499): java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: Android.media.CamcorderProfile.hasProfile

Any hint why this happens? Thanks.

I think Bruno was right, it seems like it was a problem of API level.
