androidInstall : default or static interface method used without --min-sdk-version >= 24

[odbuser2]

org.javafxports:jfxmobile-plugin:2.0.19
controlfx 9.0.0 branch
gradle target: androidInstall

Description
ControlFX does not build properly using AndroidInstall : "default or static interface method used without --min-sdk-version >= 24". However, this is what's in AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="24" android:targetSdkVersion="25"/>

Specifying the minSdkVersion=24 in the build.gradle file results in the same error.

I haven't tracked down the source of the issue in ControlFX but I did try default and static interface methods in my source. Default methods work fine. static interface methods compile but fail to launch on Android. The issue with ControlFX has some other nuance.

The following appears to be the same issue:
Stackoverflow question
Trying "android.enableD8=true" in the gradle.properties file did not fix the issue.

Did you resolve this issue >>> I am having the same issue with the ControlFX code too ...

If you want to use ControlsFX on Android with Gluon VM and jfxmobile 2.0.24, you need to use ControlsFX 8.40.15, as ControlsFX 9 uses Java 9 API (and targets Java 9), not supported on Android.

But even using ControlsFX 8 you will get the exception listed above: "default or static interface method used without --min-sdk-version >= 24". This error arises from the use of Android Tools 3.

As the exception message explains, we need to set a min SDK version in order to allow default or static interface methods. This can be done easily from the android configuration block of the build.gradle file:

android {
        manifest = 'src/android/AndroidManifest.xml'
        dexOptions {
            additionalParameters "--min-sdk-version=24"
        }
...

@jperedadnr Thank you so much, I had the same problem with a different library. After 2weeks of searching the web I finaly found this github post.
@kermiedefrog yes, this seems to be resolving the problem
