Launching Android 2.x application in 1.x emulator

Question

I need to get the Android project created in Eclipse for the 2.0 platform to run on 1.5 AVD (emulator). This is because I am writing an application that will support the Contacts API and ContactsContract API.

Does anyone know the magic word for this to happen?

Answer 1

If we are really talking about an Android project (folders with source .java files and all the necessary XML files, etc.), just right-click the project folder and click Properties. In the properties window, select the section Androidin the left pane. Now just select the project creation goal that you want to use and click Apply.

EDIT: If you want to ensure backward compatibility of some functions, just check the SDK version and decide what to do with the version of the SDK version of the specific version.

int sdk = new Integer(Build.VERSION.SDK).intValue();

if(sdk >= 5) {
    // do whatever you need
}
else {
    // do whatever else you need
}
