For the version greater than HoneyComb ,the package of ClipboardManager is changed to android.content.ClipboardManager from android.text.ClipboardManager . Proper code is shown below .

 int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
                            if (currentapiVersion >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
                                android.content.ClipboardManager clipboard = (android.content.ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
                                ClipData clip = ClipData.newPlainText("label",
                                        edit.getText());
                                clipboard.setPrimaryClip(clip);
                            } else {
                                android.text.ClipboardManager clipboard = (android.text.ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
                                clipboard.setText(edit.getText());
                            }

probably class android.content.ClipboardManager is imported, which works only from API>=11 on. Since 2.3.6 is API 10, the app crashes I guess saying java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

See Android clipboard code that works on all API levels or How to copy text programmatically in my Android app? for solution that work. Still, the dalvikvm reports an error because it tries to verify all classes, but the app does not crash.

To prevent loading of classes, which can't be verified, see http://android-developers.blogspot.de/2010/07/how-to-have-your-cupcake-and-eat-it-too.html where the correct version dependent abstract class is instantiated at runtime.
