is it possible to show widget only for a certain android version?

Question

is it possible to show widget in "Add to home screen > Widgets" Dialog only for a certain android version without uploading two APKs and assigning to proper SDK version numbers?

Answer 1

I have a way to do it without any code e.g.:

In your resvalues dir create a bools.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <bool name="honeycombOrAbove">false</bool> </resources>

Create a values-v11 dir (for honeycomb or above values), copy the file to it and set the value to true.

Then in the manifest for the widget receiver use: android:enabled="@bool/honeycombOrAbove". I also used it in the configuration activity for the widget.

This means the widget is disabled at install time.
