WearApiVersionHelper

class WearApiVersionHelper

Wear API Version helper for use in determining whether or not the API requirements associated with a given API can be met. Given that Wear API is built incrementally on top of the Android Platform/SDK API, API compatibility is determined both by checking the required Android Platform API level and the Wear specific, incremental API level against that which is present on a device. Ensuring runtime API compatibility is critical as the failure to do so can result in crashes should you try to call an API which doesn't exist on a device containing an earlier version. The following is an example of runtime API compatibility/checking with the WearApiVersionHelper:

    public void doFoo() {
        // Foo had some new features that were introduced in 33.4 - we need to ensure that users
        // on newer devices get the benefits of these features while still ensuring that our app
        // works for users on older devices - even if they don't get the benefit of the new
        // feature.
        if (WearApiVersionHelper.isApiVersionAtLeast(WEAR_TIRAMISU_4) {
            // use the new foo features that were introduced in Wear 33.4
        } else {
            // gracefully handle legacy foo behaviour
        }
    }
