Android API level annotation for Android libraries

Question

I am writing an Android library. The vast majority of the interface in the lbirary supports Android API level 10 or above. Some functionality, though, requires a higher API

Answer 1

I have recently done this on a custom view class, which needed special constructor for some api levels.

I have done it with the @TargetApi annotation.

If a method is available only since api level 16:

@TargetApi(16)
public void someMethod () {}

This should do the trick, including lint errors.
