Unfortunately App has Stopped - showing Toast in if-else condition

Question

I just simply want to show Toast if device supports SDK <= 13 that's it

I am writing a small program in which allowing user to add an event to user if target sdk greater than or equal to 14 else showing Toast, but getting Unfortunately App has Stopped whenever i am using my code on device which supports API Level 8 or < 14 in place of Toast, see below code:

final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
         button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
             public void onClick(View v) {
                 // Perform action on click
                 if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 8 && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 13)
                 {   
                     Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Some Message", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();                             
                }                
                 else 
                 {
                     Intent calIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT);
                     calIntent.setData(Events.CONTENT_URI);
                     calIntent.putExtra(Events.TITLE, title.toString());
                     calIntent.putExtra(Events.EVENT_LOCATION, KEY_LOCATION);
                     calIntent.putExtra(Events.DESCRIPTION, description.toString());
                     startActivity(calIntent);   
                }
             }
         });
    }

I am able to add events to devices those are using target sdk >= 14 but not able to show Toast on Devices those are using target SDK <= 13....

Do you want your Toast to show on API Level 13 ? It seems yes from your question. Then you should modify your condition <= 13 — Madhur Ahuja, Oct 30 '13 at 06:55
Its working perfectly fine for me.Please check this "" in manifest file. — Siddharth_Vyas, Oct 30 '13 at 06:55
Your logcat suggests that the issue is not with this code you've posted. Its with the CalendarContracts.Events class. — i5h4n, Oct 30 '13 at 06:58
@Raghunandan LINE number 51 : calIntent.setData(Events.CONTENT_URI); — Sun, Oct 30 '13 at 07:03

Try to replace ProductDetailActivity.this with getApplicationContext().

Also, Calendar Contacts introduced in 4.0 which is 14+ sdk.

Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= 13

Before 4.0 they had android.provider.Calendar

You may want to investigate that.

The class CalendarContract.Events which is you are using is added in API level 14 so thats why it is giving you exception if you want to use it your ApI version must be 14..so before Api 14 the calss is not found in the Android SDK..
