java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets

In simulator I can run my app, but on device with Jelly Bean OS I get a crash. Any idea why?

This is the line I need character encoding:

byte[] out = str.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

Solution

  • StandardCharsets was added in API Level 19. It is not available for any of the Jelly Bean versions of Android.
