simple cursor adapter requires minimum api 11 issue

Question

I am working on a app , in which i require to populate list view from the database. I am getting compatibility issue in following code

   dataAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(
    this, R.layout.eventlisting, 
    cursor, 
    columns, 
    to,
    0);

It requires min api level 11 , mine is 8. Is there any alternative for this to make this code work on api 8 as well. Can i use support library?

Answer 1

Try the SimpleCursorAdapter from the support class. It is used like the API 11+ version and it is already backwards compatible.

You have to download the Support Library , so you only need to change the import Like This way :

import android.support.v4.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;

Answer 2

For Backword compatibility you can download support library and make your Code working.

to add support library

Right Click your Project -> android tools -> add support library.

then again

Right Click your Project -> android tools -> fix project properties.

and then clean build your project.after that you will be able to import SimpleCursorAdapter class in your application.hope it will help.
