Question regarding SDK object / method call: public abstract SharedPreferences.Editor putString (String key, String value)

When I try to use this in Eclipse (3.6) I get: The method putStringSet(String, HashSet) is undefined for the type SharedPreferences.Editor

If I cast the HashSet to a Set I get this: The method putStringSet(String, Set) is undefined for the type SharedPreferences.Editor

However it's clearly defined in the documentation. http://developer.android.com/reference开发者_开发技巧/android/content/SharedPreferences.Editor.html#putStringSet%28java.lang.String,%20java.util.Set%3Cjava.lang.String%3E%29

The documentation says "Since API Level 1"

And the 'Quick Fixes' offered aren't helpful.

I don't think I'm missing any imports but that could make sense too...

I freely admit that I'm not up to speed on Java or Eclipse, so there's good odds I'm missing something obvious...

Anyone care to point out the obvious?

Thank you.

You aren't missing anything, it's not there. I'm not sure why it shows up in the reference. Here is the source for SharedPreferences.java, putStringSet is definitely not in the Editor interface

Most of the class is definitely api level 1, but putStringSet is actually api level 11.
