version

I have an app that works fine in Android 1.x but not in Android 2.x i need to do things different based on the version of Android the app is running on (querying contacts). is it possible to have two separate methods within the one app that i can choose based on the version of Android the app is running on? many thanks Ed Use reflection and class loaders.

I am investigating different options in the Java Serialization mechanism to allow flexibility in our class structures for version-tolerant storage (and advocating for a different mechanism, you don't need to tell me). For instance, the default serialization mechanism can handle both adding and removing fields, if only backwards compatibility is required. Renaming a class or moving it to a different package has proved to be much harder, though. I found in this question that I was able to do a simple class rename and/or move package, by subclassing ObjectInputStream and overriding

Working on a project and need to be able to determine whether the O/S is Windows 7, Vista or default to XP. I understand I could run into Win2K and earlier versions but let's just say that's not a concern as other code will catch that before it gets to this point. My application will be in C++ for the time being using VS2005. I've found articles and sample code alike but they seem way bloated for my uses. Just looking for a quick and dirty return. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724358%28VS.85%29.aspx List of Windows Version , using GetVersionEx : Version Number Description 6.1

I'm a complete and utter noob, so be gentle! I'm using git gui, and never touching the command line interface. I'm a noob, and some of the people i'm working with are even noob-ey-er... Current state: - I have a repository on git hub which contains a handful of scripts (henceforth 'code') - I'm using git gui (mysysgit) - I have made commits and push's and have a vague understanding of CVS - I don't believe we will need to branch I feel that I should be able to use tags to create versions of the code. I also 'feel' like there should be an equivelant structure in the filesystem where the

I have a buggy long python project that I am trying to debug. Its messy and undocumented. I am familiar with python2.7. There are no binaries in this project. The straight forward idea is to try execute it as python2.7 file.py or python3 file.py and see which works. But as I said it is already buggy at a lot of places. So none of them is working. Is there any check or method or editor that could tell me if the code was written in python2.7 or python3? Attempt to compile it. If the script uses syntax specific to a version then the compilation will fail. $ python2 -m py_compile foo.py $ python3

In my java project, I need to use neo4j-1.9.3 that depends on lucene-3.6.2 , and ElasticSearch which depends on lucene-4.4.0 . I know that if I want to use two versions of lucene directly, I can use ClassLoader to load different classes from the lucenes. But the problem is that I won't use lucene's apis directly now. Is there any way that lucene-3.6.2 can be loaded when neo4j's apis are running, and lucene-4.4.0 can be loaded while running elasticsearch's apis. The two versions of lucene conflict now, and I need to run neo4j and elasticsearch in one project. How could I solve the dependency
