Android 6.0 crashes when finding minSdkVersion from ApplicationInfo

[matthewkrueger]

Hello - a crash has popped up in production coming from this library. Here's the stack trace:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: No instance field minSdkVersion of type I in class Landroid/content/pm/ApplicationInfo; or its superclasses (declaration of 'android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo' appears in /system/framework/framework.jar)

Here's the applicable code in MaterialRatingBar:

    private void logRatingBarTintWarning() {
        if (getContext().getApplicationInfo().minSdkVersion >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            return;
        }
        Log.w(TAG, "Non-support version of tint method called, this is error-prone and will crash" +
                " below Lollipop if you are calling it as a method of RatingBar instead of" +
                " MaterialRatingBar");
    }

So far, the crash has happened 100% on Samsung devices that are running Android 6.0. Any advice is appreciated, I'll have to look for a new library or fork this one if there isn't a quick fix. Thanks!

I ended up finding a solution. I changed to use:

setSupportProgressTintList

instead of

setProgressTintList

and that resolved the crash.

Thanks for the info. To my surprise, lint never warned me about minSdkVersion being added in API level 24. Will fix.

Released in v1.3.2.
