Java 7 support

See original GitHub issue

Is there any reason why this lib does not work with java 7 ?

Caused by: com.android.dx.cf.iface.ParseException: bad class file magic (cafebabe) or version (0034.0000)

Please fix that… that this good library works to for java 7. Thanks!

I can’t really help you there. My recommendation is to import the library using jitpack. You can always import the library and modify it your way and then package it how you need it. But at this point you are on your own. Sorry about that. I will be closing this story for now. Feel free to post here if you find a solution.

@quentin41500 Error: Error converting bytecode to dex: Cause: Dex cannot parse version 52 byte code. This is caused by library dependencies that have been compiled using Java 8 or above. If you are using the ‘java’ gradle plugin in a library submodule add targetCompatibility = ‘1.7’ sourceCompatibility = ‘1.7’ to that submodule’s build.gradle file.

I think Java 8 support on Android is min API 24… so this will limit compatibility for previous android versions?

Can revert the Java 8 upgrade? Can just use threetenabp?
