[jira] [Commented] (IO-646) org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.writeStringToFile causes crashes on Android 4.2

["Jochen Wiedmann (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-646?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16982698#comment-16982698 ] 

Jochen Wiedmann commented on IO-646:
------------------------------------

The difference between 2.5, and 2.6 is obvious:

 

2.5 uses this:

 

     public static final Charset ISO_8859_1 = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");

 

But 2.6 has:

 

    public static final Charset ISO_8859_1 = StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1;

 

I haven't much ideas about Android, but this looks to me, like your JVM doesn't have the StandardCharsets class. According to  [https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/charset/StandardCharsets] (Introduced in API Level 19, but 4.2 is level 17.), that is exactly the problem.

 

Question: Do we want to support such outdated versions? In my opinion, we don't.
