?android:attr/selectableItemBackground` requires API level 11 (current min is 10)

Question

If I use this on my card view as foreground, application will crash on pre API 10.

    <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    android:id="@+id/card_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:layout_margin="@dimen/card_margin"
 //android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
    android:elevation="3dp"
    card_view:cardCornerRadius="@dimen/card_album_radius">

I'm working on a project about seven months and my app worked on every API level until now.. this is forcing me to raise my min SDK.

Can you please help me with this, how can I bypass it.

temporary answer

I'm using this

android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackground"

insteat of:

android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"

It's some kind of gray color onClick instead of blue, but I do not care much about the color, So this will solve the crashing problem for now

Its clearly says that **requires API level 11 (current min is 10)**. You can change your minimum version or find alternate solution for it — Piyush, May 02 '17 at 10:33
@DastakWall you can set it programmatically, but it will have the same problem. I am not sure but there may be some third party libraries to do that. — Nongthonbam Tonthoi, May 02 '17 at 10:43
@NongthonbamTonthoi at least if I programmatically use this on above API 10, app will not break on pre 10 , thanks for the reply — DastakWall, May 02 '17 at 10:45
Have a look at [Usage of ?android:attr/ in backwards compatible apps](http://stackoverflow.com/a/11383185/6340019). Hope it will help you — VishnuSP, May 02 '17 at 10:54
`?selectableItemBackground` is what you should be using when you have AppCompat. It's support counterpart to `?android:selectableItemBackground`. Basically if there's an attribute *without* the `android:` prefix you should be using that. ***///*** This approach will fail below Lollipop. Foreground corners will NOT be rounded and foreground will be drawn over card shadow. — Eugen Pechanec, May 02 '17 at 13:00

User android:foreground="?selectableItemBackgroundBorderless" instead of android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"

Using ?attr: (or the ? shorthand) instead of ?android:attr references the support library, so is available back to API 7.

?android:attr/selectableItemBackground` requires API level 11 (current min is 10)
