[KAFKA-7025] Android client support

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 1.0.1
• Component/s: clients
• Assignee: Unassigned

Description

Adding kafka-clients:1.0.0 (also 1.0.1 and 1.1.0) to an Android project would make  the compilation fail: com.android.tools.r8.ApiLevelException: MethodHandle.invoke and MethodHandle.invokeExact are only supported starting with Android O (--min-api 26)

 

Would it be possible to make the kafka-clients backward compatible with reasonable Android API (say, 4.4.x) please?
