API Version Check

Is there a way to determine the API level supported on a device?

I'd like to use the "fitTextToAera" function, but that requires API 3.1.0. One of my device targets is the EDGE 1000, which only supports up to API 2.4.0.

I could create a look-up table based on part numbers to API support... but I'm hoping there is a better way to ask the device.

Thanks!

you should use has cheks: if (x has :fitTextToAera) {...}

"has" is possible, but if you really want the CIQ version, you can use monkeyVersion. See the API doc

from what I understand from the question he doesn't really need the version (BTW why would anyone need it?) just to decide if the function is present.

Both replies are great. Jim answered my actual question. Gavriel answered what I really meant to ask. :-) Thanks to both!!

I've run into a few things where monkeyVerion came in handy.
