title: Check Android API level AT application launch?
body: <p>Is there a way to check the Android API level before any activity gets called? The way I want to set up this app is that if the API level is below, say 15, the App launches one activity that mainly uses activities and simple layouts whereas if the API level is above or equal 15 it should open a different activity that uses a prettier layout and the features that come with higher API levels.</p>
  
  <p>I know how to do it from the MainActivity (just with a simple if statement and checking the Build number) but can this be done before anything is called? Because if I have to cramp two completely different parts of the application into one Activity it will get <em>very</em> crowded in there...(And it wouldn't really be that elegant...)
  Thanks in advance.</p>
