Apps Code for Multiple API's

[richardmaley]

How do you write code that can enable features provided in a newer API and ignore the code if the feature is not available.

An example is cameraInfo.canDisableShutterSound which is provided in API level 17.

try {
canDisable = cameraInfo.canDisableShutterSound;
} catch (Exception e) {
canDisable = false;
Log.e(TAG,
getClass().getName() + "."
+ e.getStackTrace()[0].getMethodName()
+ " error:", e);
}

I would like the code to be used if the API is 17 or greater and ignored if the API is less than 17.

Thank you.

that's how you do it:

[HIGH]if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
//my code
}[/HIGH]
