Our production app works fine on a variety of devices, but is crashing on an old Station. I've reproduced this with an Android API 17 emulator. The unhandled exception is:
Unable to get provider com.loyalpatron.app.providers.TenderInfoImageProvider: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.loyalpatron.app.providers.TenderInfoImageProvider" on path: /data/app/com.loyalpatron.app-2.apk
I've checked build.gradle and see:
minSdkVersion 17
Seems like it could be a dex issue. Have you investigated that?
It's a very small app, so unlikely to be hitting the 64k ref limit. Still, since the multidex build modifications were simple I tried them, but unfortunately got the same crash.
The next step would be to decompile the APK and see if that class exists. The question is if proguard is removing it. That seems unlikely but it's the next thing to check.
Here's your bug:
06-17 13:49:53.378 E/AndroidRuntime( 9804): Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets 06-17 13:49:53.378 E/AndroidRuntime( 9804): at org.apache.commons.io.Charsets.<clinit>(Charsets.java:120) 06-17 13:49:53.378 E/AndroidRuntime( 9804): ... 12 more
StandardCharsets was added in API 19:
https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/charset/StandardCharsets
Station 1 is API 17.
Edit: to add a little more, looks like you are using org.apache.commons.io, which is a Java library. That's okay but you need to make sure the Java version of the library doesn't exceed to equivalent API level of the device. API 17 is roughly equivalent to Java 6, and StandardCharsets was added in Java 7.
I'm confused. Why doesn't that StandardCharsets message show up with I debug, and I'm getting the TenderInfoImageProvider missing message? I've searched for StandardCharsets and can't find it referenced. I've searched for org.apache.commons.io and can't find it referenced. I'm a veteran developer, but newish to Android, so it could be my lack of experience showing. Thanks for your help.
