setAdapter "Call requires API level 11 (current min is 8): android.widget.AbsListView#setAdapter"?

I'm calling the `setAdapter()` method in a class that extends `Fragment`. Note that I have imported `android.support.v4.app.Fragment` . However I get an error stating that the API level is required to be level 11. What do I have to do so that I can fix this without changing `minSdkVersion="8"` to `minSdkVersion="11"` ``` package foo.bar.qux; import java.util.Calendar; import java.util.Date; import org.w3c.dom.Document; import org.w3c.dom.NodeList; import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.LayoutInflater; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.widget.LinearLayout; import android.widget.ListView; import android.widget.TextView; public class TabFragmentList extends Fragment { String category, xml; NodeList nodes; int numResults; private ListView lv; Date date; @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { if (container == null) return null; return (LinearLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.eventlist, container, false); } @Override public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState); Activity activity = getActivity(); if (activity != null) { final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); ListContent[] item = new ListContent[3]; category = (String) activity.getIntent().getExtras() .get("category"); xml = (String) activity.getIntent().getExtras().get("xml"); TextView tv = (TextView) getView().findViewById(R.id.category); tv.setText(category); nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("event"); for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) { c.add(Calendar.DATE, 1); date = c.getTime(); item[i] = new ListContent(); item[i].setList(nodes, category, date); } EventListAdapter adapter = new EventListAdapter(activity, R.layout.eventlist_row, item); lv = (ListView) getView().findViewById(R.id.listView1); lv.setAdapter(adapter); // ERROR SHOWN HERE } } } ``` Note : I tried reducing the targetSdkVersion to 10. Yet I get the error. Please help! Edit : I don't understand why it's termed as `AbsListVew` when all that I have used is a `ListView`. Also, note that I've used a custom adapter. `EventListAdapter` extends `ArrayAdaptere<ListContent>` and shows NO ERROR. For your reference here is the xml layout code snippet for R.id.ListView1 ``` <ListView android:layout_margin="10dp" android:dividerHeight="10.0sp" android:id="@+id/listView1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" /> ```
