How to remove “Call requires API level” error?

Question

I get this error in Eclipse: Call requires API level 14 (current min is 8): android.app.ActionBar#setHomeButtonEnabled

This is code:

if(android.os.Bu         


        

Answer 1

Add the line @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) above the method signature, where Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH evaluates to 14, the API version code for Ice Cream Sandwich.

Like so:

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH)
public void yourMethod() {
    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) {
        getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(false);
    }
}

Answer 2

Note: the accepted answer is outdated.

In Android Studio 3.0 Beta 7 you don't need the @TargetApi annotation anymore.
It seems that the lint check is smarter now.

So this is enough:

public void yourMethod() {
    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) {
        getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(false);
    }
}
