Crash on API < 26

[hivian]

Hi,

I have a runtime crash on devices with API < 26

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Ljava/util/Base64;
        at com.amdelamar.jhash.util.HashUtils.encodeBase64(HashUtils.java:103)
        at com.amdelamar.jhash.Hash.create(Hash.java:182)

This class seems to be not available on older devices.

[amdelamar]

Are you running Java 8 or newer?

[amdelamar]

I assume you meant Android when you say "API < 26". Unfortunately, this lib is not tested on Android.

Looks like java.util.Base64 is not part of Android SDK. As mentioned by this SO question.

[hivian]

Yes I noticed your library was a java project and can't use android.util.Base64. I will find another way.

Thanks

I am also in search of a hashing library that supports android api 21 and above. As a last resort I'm going to try Bouncy Castle. So far I've been trying to avoid it because it's too bloated but it should work fine nevertheless.

Here is the Android crypto compatibility doc

For me it works great on Android. Thanks @amdelamar for this great lib.
To make it work, I have set minSdkVersion 26 and added the following to my build.gradle (app):

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
