Existing equivalents of Deprecated Classes in android

Question

Android 2.3.3

How do we find the new classes that are equivalent to the deprecated classes in android. Let' say, Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI is replaced with ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI. Now how do I know, what are the equivalents of Contacts.PeopleColumns.NAME, Contacts.Intents.Insert.NAME and Contacts.People.Phones.CONTENT_DIRECTORY and so on. Do we have a list somewhere? or How do I go about looking for these changes?

Here you can find detailed infos about Android 2.3.3 version changes: https://developer.android.com/sdk/api_diff/10/changes.html

Answer 3

All of these mentioned have their page in the Android developers documentation. Here, here and here.

They all say the following:

This interface was deprecated in API level 5. See ContactsContract

Meaning that you should check out ContactsContract for a suitable replacement to those three and other deprecated interfaces.
