    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.GINGERBREAD) {
        //--incompatible code--
    } else {
        //--compatible code--
    }

The condition runs into incompatible code on Gingerbread. Does Build.VERSION.SDK_INT represents actual device version ? or the SDK version the app has been compiled with ?

    This is a static member, which was assigned value when the app first executes.

    public static final int SDK_INT = SystemProperties.getInt("ro.build.version.sdk", 0);

    The SystemProperties.getInt() member function runs on your target device and is not determined when you compile your application.

    According to the official guide you should use >= instead of > when detect api version, i.e.

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {

    since there may be minor versions between major versions.
