How to use

Configure your app/build.gradle like the following:

buildscript {

repositories {

google() // necessary as this plugin depends on the android gradle api

gradlePluginPortal() // where this plugin is hosted

}

dependencies {

classpath 'gradle.plugin.com.github.sgtsilvio.gradle:android-retrofix:0.3.6'

}

}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application' // mandatory for android apps

apply plugin: 'com.github.sgtsilvio.gradle.android-retrofix' // should be applied after com.android.application

...

android {

...

defaultConfig {

...

minSdkVersion 21 // has to be < 24, if you have 24+ this plugin is not needed

...

}

...

compileOptions {

sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 // enables lambdas, method references,

targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 // default methods, static interface methods

}

...

}

dependencies {

implementation 'net.sourceforge.streamsupport:android-retrostreams:1.7.2' // for backporting streams

implementation 'net.sourceforge.streamsupport:android-retrofuture:1.7.2' // for backporting future

implementation 'org.threeten:threetenbp:1.4.4' // for backporting time

// or implementation 'com.jakewharton.threetenabp:threetenabp:1.2.4' // https://github.com/JakeWharton/ThreeTenABP

...

}

Android Studio will still display an error "Call requires API level 24 (current min is 21)".

This error is actually just a warning.

Android Studio does not know that we backport the API, so it still thinks that the API can not be used with the

minSdkVersion.

You can build and run your app without any problems.

If you want to get rid of the warning, just add @SuppressLint("NewApi") to the method or class where you use the API.
