run app on android 4.2 with api available only in android 2.3

I have an android library project where I use android 2.3 private API. I have the main android 4.2 project that uses this library project. I need to run this project on android 4.2 device. (android 4.2 doesn't have this api available in android 2.3) And every time I get the runtime exception:

AndroidRuntime(1395): java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: android.content.pm.IPackageManager.getPackageInfo

It's clear why I get it; but does it possible to resolve this problem?

Since getPackageInfo is API that added in level 1, it sounds weird.
See link : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#getPackageInfo(java.lang.String, int)

  1. Does Context (Activity, ApplicationContext, etc) was properly set?
    because getPackageInfo() usually used like below,

    context.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo

    So if context or packageManager is wrong, getPackageInfo cannot be called.

  2. Just Refresh - Clean and do it again. Sometimes it works.

  3. Definitely, There exists getPackageInfo() in Android 4.2. (Actually, 2.2 ~ 4.3) It seems that android works fine.
