android-api-levels

My app's minimum API-level is 19 (KitKat), and contains a layout with a horizontal ProgressBar . I'm using android:progressTint attribute to tint the bar to a custom color. It works pretty well on Lollipop (API 21) and above, but below (for example on API 19) it doesn't; it shows up in a different color. The reason is that this attribute is only used in API level 21 and higher as Android Studio states. So I'm wondering what can be a good alternative for tinting the ProgressBar on pre-Lollipop devices, too. Can it be made inside the layout file with XML? Or should this be done on a different

I used the below added code to get the connected audio devices for android device. Used AudioManager api method getDevices() and got the result with connected devices like earphones, speaker, headphones. But this getDevices() method is available since android api level 23 (Marshmallow) only. But my application should support from api level 21 (Lollipop).

I have a DialogFragment that handles login and fingerprint authentication for my application. This fragment uses two classes that are exclusive to API 23, KeyGenParameterSpec and KeyPermanentlyInvalidatedException . I had been under the impression that I could use these classes, as long as I check the build version before I try to initialize the classes (outlined here ): if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) { ... } else { ... } But it appears that this is not the case. If I try to run this code on a version prior to API 20, the Dalvik VM rejects the entire class and throws a

This question already has an answer here: What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it? 12 answers This might be a possible duplicate but i can't seem to pinpoint the exact solution. Camera works fine and returns the image uri on devices below api 23. However app crushes right after capturing image on devices apove api 23 with log error java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=2, result=-1, data=Intent { act=inline-data (has extras) }} to activity {ana.foodi/ana.foodi.MainActivity}: java.lang.NullPointerException: uri at android.app

When I'm trying to build the application it will show the android.view.InflateException in FloatingActionButton? I really don't know what causes the error.
