Question

I published an app 2 moths ago and sometimes, I am getting some errors from the users.

Here is the log:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.os.StrictMode$ThreadPolicy$Builder
at mdpi.android.MDPIActivity.onCreate(MDPIActivity.java:132)
at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(Instrumentation.java:1047)

at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:629)
at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)

The strange thing is that when testing, I am newer getting this error and at the moment, there are 6 repports from the other users about this problem.

Here is my manifest:

Answer 1

Strict Mode was introduced in API level 9, and you’ve got 8 set as your minimum in the manifest. These are probably from users running 2.2.x (API level 8).
