So far I've only bothered supporting Android API 11 and above, but this app is super simple, so I thought I'd try supporting down to 8. Eclipse only has one complaint, and that's my onCreateView method. How do I handle this without raising my minSDK version? 

@Override
public View onCreateView(View parent, String name, Context context,
        AttributeSet attrs) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return super.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);  //complains here
}

  • I think your problem belongs to a bug, because there are 3 other SO-Threads with the same problem. Bug-Report is already open: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=188677 – Murmel Oct 18 '15 at 21:35

Override the three-parameter version of onCreateView() instead, dropping View parent.

  • I thought about that. So that wouldn't break support for newer Android versions? – NSouth Sep 05 '14 at 00:13
  • @NSouth: Looking at the `Activity` and `LayoutInflater` source code, you might need to override both. The only time I see both being invoked on the same device would be for a `` tag, where the four-parameter version chains to the three-parameter version for some reason. To be honest, in ~6 years of Android development, I have never had the need to override this method. – CommonsWare Sep 05 '14 at 10:29
