android camera autofocus

For the Android API version 2.1 and higher, we can use context:

getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA_AUTOFOCUS)

But before version 2.1, how can we perform the same operation? Is there anything like this that does not involve invoking Camera.open and then getParameters?

List<String> supportedFocusModes = camera.getParameters().getSupportedFocusModes();
boolean hasAutoFocus = supportedFocusModes != null && supportedFocusModes.contains(Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_AUTO)
