java ljava/lang/string_java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method getMccString()Ljava/lang/Strin...

I am retrieving cell information data (CellInfo) from TelephonyManager

For each cell info object, I am querying for mcc (Mobile Country Code) and mnc (Mobile Network Code) via

eachCellInfo.cellIdentity.mcc

eachCellInfo.cellIdentity.mnc

Where eachCellInfo is an object of CellInfo

The function is deprecated as per the doc:

/**

* @return 2 or 3-digit Mobile Network Code, 0..999, Integer.MAX_VALUE if unknown

* @deprecated Use {@link #getMncString} instead.

*/

@Deprecated

public int getMnc() {

return (mMncStr != null) ? Integer.valueOf(mMncStr) : Integer.MAX_VALUE;

}

However when I am using the suggested method that is via

eachCellInfo.cellIdentity.mccString

Method Description:

/**

* @return Mobile Country Code in string format, null if unknown

*/

public String getMccString() {

return mMccStr;

}

I am getting following crash logs:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method getMccString()Ljava/lang/String; in class Landroid/telephony/CellIdentityLte; or its super classes (declaration of 'android.telephony.CellIdentityLte' appears in /system/framework/framework.jar!classes2.dex)

)

Let me know if I am missing any information and possible cause of this behavior.
