I need to implement a widget that uses Stackview which is supported on sdk 11 and higher. My app uses sdk 8, so can I enable/disable a widget based on the sdk version?

If the app widget is to be totally unavailable, mark the
<receiver>as disabled in the manifest (android:enabled="false"). Then, on first run of your app, check your version and conditionally enable the app widget viaPackageManagerandsetComponentEnabledSetting(). The only downside is that your app widget will not show up as available until they launch your app for the first time.If the app widget is simply to have different behavior on different versions, use
res/layout-v11/for yourStackViewimplementation andres/layout/for your non-StackViewimplementation. YourAppWidgetProvidercan check the API level and configure theRemoteViewsand related stuff accordingly.
