There are lots of reasonable approaches. For example, if you set your
build target to API Level 10, and you are not deploying to Android
1.x, you can just wrap your version-specific code in version guard
blocks:

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.FROYO) {
// do something with startBluetoothSCO()
}
