Question

Similar questions have need asked already. But this one seems to be more complicated than previous ones because of changes in compatibility of Android Platforms.

Here is

Answer 1

   /*Apache Commons Logging would crash starting Android 9.0 (Pie / API Level 28).*/

   //try this 

    testImplementation 'commons-logging:commons-logging:1.2'

    // in manifest  <application> s
    <uses-library android:name="org.apache.http.legacy" android:required="false" />

     /* if this files  'commons-logging:commons-logging:1.2' fails to download  then
      download this file manual  from http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons- 
       logging/download_logging.cgi and paste it lib folder*/

Answer 2

An alternative workaround is to add the commons-logging library as a .jar file to your libs/ folder instead of using implementation. Make sure that implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs') is in your dependencies.

Sources of commons-logging-1.2.jar:

1. Maven Repository
2. Apache Commons Logging

Answer 3

This is an AWS SDK bug that appears to be solved in version 2.6.30 of the SDK:

Fixed a bug where getting a logger using Apache Commons Logging would crash starting Android 9.0 (Pie / API Level 28). See pull #521. Now, Apache Commons Logging would be used if it's being added as a dependency, otherwise android.util.Log will be used.

Answer 4

Add this below line in manifest file.

<uses-library android:name ="org.apache.http.legacy" android:required ="false"/>

Answer 5

to fix this issue I had the dependency implementation "commons-logging:commons-logging-api:1.1" in gradle file.
