Android Compatibility

I just published my first app on the market, but I just found out that android.telephony.gsm.smsmanager has depreciated since Android 1.6. My app relies on sending SMS messages, so it can't work on 1.6 or newer.

I built a project against 1.5, but I only have a 1.5 device for testing. Since I built 1.5 am I fine with newer operating systems or will users have a closing force?

Thanks in advance!

PS Is there a way to send / receive SMS messages in the emulator? It would be helpful.

Deprecated methods usually work fine in future versions of the API. (This is just a flag that roughly says that there is an updated and better way to accomplish this task.)

When it comes to sending and receiving SMS messages in the emulator, have a look at the documentation:

Or other forums:
