Android: Different widget layouts for Honeycomb/Gingerbread

Question

I'm working a personal project that's going to include a home-screen widget updated with information from a service - I'm developing using a Android 3.1 tablet (physical) as well as an Android 2.3 emulated phone.

For the Honeycomb version, I'd like to use the StackView, building up 3-4 pages which the user can swipe through, whereas this isn't supported on pre-Honeycomb devices, so is there an easy way to

• have Honeycomb devices use a StackView but have Gingerbread/earlier use a TextView (I think this can be done by using res/layouts-v1{1,2,3,4}

• Have the RemoteView detect which it is and clear/create the StackView items or set the text on the TextView

Answer 1

You can indicate different layout for pre and post Honeycomb by using the v11 qualifier in your layout names. You can also use the Build class to detect what Build version you're running on and then load the appropriate layout.
