Common solutions for uncommon IT problems
Reference: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/DisplayMetrics#scaledDensity
This method is deprecated from API level 34, so if you want to get the dimensions of the application window then you can safely manage this situation with:
DisplayMetrics dm = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
float scaledDensity;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 34)
scaledDensity = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 1, dm);
else
scaledDensity = dm.scaledDensity;Reference: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Display#getMetrics(android.util.DisplayMetrics)
This method is deprecated from API level 30, so if you want to get the dimensions of the application window then you can safely manage this situation with:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 30) {
WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager)
getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
final WindowMetrics metrics = windowManager.getCurrentWindowMetrics();
// Gets all excluding insets
final WindowInsets windowInsets = metrics.getWindowInsets();
Insets insets =
windowInsets.getInsetsIgnoringVisibility(WindowInsets.Type.navigationBars()| WindowInsets.Type.displayCutout());
int insetsWidth = insets.right + insets.left;
int insetsHeight = insets.top + insets.bottom;
// Legacy size that Display#getSize reports
final Rect bounds = metrics.getBounds();
final Size legacySize = new Size(bounds.width() - insetsWidth,bounds.height() - insetsHeight);
}
Reference: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/WindowManager#getDefaultDisplay()
This method is deprecated from API level 33, so you can safely manage this situation with:
Display display;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 30)
display = this.getDisplay();
else {
WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();
}Be careful that this is referred to an activity that is displayed on that display or read major documentation here: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#getDisplay()
Reference:
and buildToolsVersion too:
This method is deprecated, so you can safely manage this situation in your build.gradle file at module leve (not the App) with:
android {
compileSdk 34
buildToolsVersion = "34.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.app"
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 34
versionCode 10000
versionName "1.00.00"
}
[...]
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}Reference:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcel#readParcelable(java.lang.ClassLoader)
This method is deprecated from API level 33, so you can safely manage this situation with:
Parcel in;
LatLng latLng;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 33) // new version
latLng = in.readParcelable(LatLng.class.getClassLoader(), LatLng.class);
else // old version
latLng = in.readParcelable(LatLng.class.getClassLoader());Reference:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent#getParcelableExtra(java.lang.String)
This method is deprecated from API level 33, so you can safely manage this situation with:
Uri uri;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 33)
uri = intentResult
.getParcelableExtra(
RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_PICKED_URI,
Uri.class
);
else
uri = intentResult
.getParcelableExtra(RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_PICKED_URI);Reference:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Vibrator#vibrate(long), and following methods
These methods have been deprecated too:
public void vibrate (long milliseconds)
public void vibrate (long[] pattern, int repeat)
public void vibrate (VibrationEffect vibe, AudioAttributes attributes)
public void vibrate (long milliseconds, AudioAttributes attributes)
public void vibrate (long[] pattern, int repeat, AudioAttributes attributes)
These methods have been deprecated from API level 26 and have been superseded by these two new methods:
public void vibrate (VibrationEffect vibe, VibrationAttributes attributes)
public void vibrate (VibrationEffect vibe)so you can safely manage this situation with:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 26) // new version
vibrator.vibrate(createOneShot(1000, VibrationEffect.DEFAULT_AMPLITUDE));
else // old version
vibrator.vibrate(patternTiming, 0);Reference:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#VIBRATOR_SERVICE
This constant has been deprecated from API level 31, so you can safely manage this situation with:
Vibrator vibrator;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 31) {
VibratorManager vibratorM = (VibratorManager) getApplicationContext()
.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_MANAGER_SERVICE);
vibrator = vibratorM.getDefaultVibrator();
} else
vibrator = (Vibrator) getApplicationContext
.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
// then continue for example with...
vibrator.cancel();Reference:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/WindowManager.LayoutParams#FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON
This statement is deprecated from API level 27, so you can safely manage this situation with:
Adding the FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON flag to the flags of the current window typically happens in the onCreate event and BEFORE the method SetContent() of an activity; after the deprecation, instead, you have to call the setTurnScreenOn(boolean) method:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 27) // the old version
getWindow()
.addFlags(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON
);
else // the new version
setTurnScreenOn(true);
setContentView(R.layout.main_activity);
}Reference:
This statement is deprecated from API level 27, so you can safely manage this situation with:
Adding the FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED flag to the flags of the current window typically happens in the onCreate event and BEFORE the method SetContent() of an activity; after the deprecation, instead, you have to call the setShowWhenLocked(boolean) method:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 27) // the old version
getWindow()
.addFlags(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED
