How to get rid of Android Verification Errors
<p>I'm using this method to get an array of BroadCast addresses.</p>

<p>Some of the methods and Classes used are not present in the old API
So i have added a version check at the beginning of the method.I'm trying to run this on a Android 1.6 Emulator and it fails with verify errors. </p>

<pre><code>private InetAddress[] getBroadCast() throws SocketException
{

    int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
    if (currentapiVersion &lt; 9)
    {       
        try {
            String ipString = getWifiIp();
            int loc = ipString.lastIndexOf(".");
            InetAddress baddrs[] = new InetAddress[1];
            baddrs[0] = new InetAddress.getByName(ipString.substring(0, loc)+".255");
            return baddrs;
        } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
    }
            else{
    String bcast="";
    for (Enumeration&lt;NetworkInterface&gt; en = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces(); en.hasMoreElements();) {
        NetworkInterface intf = en.nextElement();

        for (InterfaceAddress address : intf.getInterfaceAddresses()) {
            if(address.getBroadcast()!=null) bcast=bcast+address.getBroadcast().toString().substring(1)+"::";
        }}
    String[] bcastarray= bcast.split("::");
    InetAddress baddrs[] = new InetAddress[bcastarray.length];
    for(int i=0;i&lt;bcastarray.length;i++)
        try {
            baddrs[i] = new  InetAddress.getByName(bcastarray[i]);
        } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    return baddrs;
}
 }

<p>These are the errors that come up</p>

<p>android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT is available only from API Level 4 and up. I'm looking for a workaround for these issues</p>
