android depreciated method backward compatible

Question

My app uses a method that was depreciated since android 2.1 with a different method and I would like to make it work from 1.5 to 2.2. Is there a way for my app to determine which android version the user has and call the correct method based on that? or is there a better way to do this?

Answer 1

you can check the device SDK version using inbuilt classes available in Android and then put a if else condition around it.But i am not sure if its the recommended approach...

int sdkversion=  Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
