Q-1) If I add this FAB to my old code will my app crash?

Q-2) Is there any way to make my old version code to run on other version of android ie highest version of android?

Answer 1

I have run my code for API level 8 in android studio, And I still Use to develop a legacy project on API level 8 and above. By theoretically API 7 should support, Try it. or you can set the compile level of your app as API 8 keeping the lowest version allowed to 7 and it should work.
