Why doesn't sdk version check work?

Question

I have this code snippet:

int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;

            if (currentapiVersion < Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS);
                ComponentName cName = new ComponentName("com.android.phone", "com.android.phone.Settings");
                intent.setComponent(cName);

            } else {
                Intent intent = new Intent();
                intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                intent.setAction(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS);
                context.startActivity(intent);
            }

Why doesn't this work on my android phone (api level 15) , but when I replace it with the code below, it works fine?

                Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_DATA_ROAMING_SETTINGS);
                ComponentName cName = new ComponentName("com.android.phone", "com.android.phone.Settings");
                intent.setComponent(cName);

Please explain what "doesn't this work" means. Also note that you are only calling `startActivity()` in your `else` block, not the `if` block. — CommonsWare, Jan 31 '16 at 18:01

            context.startActivity(intent);
