How to give Error message

I did my application in 2.2 version of sdk, so whenever i tried to install my apk in 1.6 or blower version i am getting parser install error. instead of getting parser error is that any change to give our own message..?? i 开发者_StackOverflowam not sure about this. if it is possible means pls let me know.

you should either recompile your app using a lower sdk, which will prevent you from using features not available in 1.6, or when you load whatever is using the offending code, you will have to check to see what version your app is being loaded on and if it is <2.2 (or whatever version started implementing the feature you are using that is higher than 1.6) and not load that code.

 if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT<8) 
        {//Dont load offending stuff or alert user feature not avail;}
     else { //normal behavior;}
