Have the public static fields in android.os.Environment been removed? (Android 2.1)

Question

Looking at the example code in the docs http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#getExternalFilesDir%28java.lang.String%29

File path = getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);

It does not compile on 2.1 The static fields DIRECTORY_PICTURES, DIRECTORY_MUSIC etc. don't seem to be found.

Update: Using the filter api checkbox, I see that it was removed in Android 2.2 (or api version 8). So the manifest file needs to contain minSdk defined as 7.

Answer 1

That's because this was added in Android 2.2 (API Level 8). See "Filter by API Level" in top right corner.
