Dealing with deprecated android.text.ClipboardManager

Question

android.text.ClipboardManager was deprecated since API level 11, and replaced with android.content.ClipboardManager (source).

How do I write code that supports both cases? Importing android.content.ClipboardManager and using that works in 11+ but force closes in 10. Changing the import to android.text.ClipboardManager throws a bunch of deprecation warnings in 11+.

How can I handle both cases smoothly? What do I need to import?

Answer 1

I ended up just using the old way (android.text.ClipboardManager and the code from this answer), along with a couple @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") annotations.

Answer 2

Referring to this answer:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
final android.content.ClipboardManager clipboardManager = (android.content.ClipboardManager) context
        .getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
final android.content.ClipData clipData = android.content.ClipData
        .newPlainText("text label", "text to clip");
clipboardManager.setPrimaryClip(clipData);
} else {
final android.text.ClipboardManager clipboardManager = (android.text.ClipboardManager) context
        .getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
clipboardManager.setText("text to clip");
}
