Answer 1

In order to get rid of such deprecation warnings, when providing backwards compatibility,
one has to remove the import, to which one cannot apply @SuppressWarnings("deprecation"):

// import android.net.NetworkInfo;

And then use it's fully qualified class name android.net.NetworkInfo instead of NetworkInfo. The point is, that one can only apply @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") to methods, but not imports.
