"Or the API changes in Android?" At least Google releases the support library to overcome that
- pjmlp 14y agoReally?! That is why you have to import android.support.* versus android.app. Which forces you to have some form of preprocessing in the Java code. Plus the API for the action bar is still missing from the support library.
- vetinari 14y agoThe support library allows you to use features of newer system releases on older systems. See also GDI+ for Win98/NT4 or Windows feature packs for example. The API changing game is another problem - it does not allow you to use existing application with newer system. As far as I know, this does not happen on Android (for now).
- pjmlp 14y agoThere already a few deprecated API, which so far have not be removed, but until when?
