Re: [AD] Android Joysticks (patch)

["Trent Gamblin" <trent@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sure there are cheap devices with Android 1.x on them too. Java doesn't
have conditional compilation though. And it has one class per file so the
only way to do it would be duplicating the AllegroSurface and KeyListener
classes. At that point the user is better off doing that themselves if they
need to support 2.x.

A person on IRC mentioned that there still exist a few (cheap) tables with
Android 2.x on them. I'm not at all familiar with the Android code, but is
it possible to do some conditional compilation for this stuff? I don't know
how much support Java has for that...
