720471 - Missing Arrays and Editor methods in Android SDK <= 8

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Android Sync, defect, P2)

Description

[Richard Newman [:rnewman]]

Follow-on from Bug 717691.

Fatal exception during manual account creation, on SDK 8.

Android Sync crashes on 2.2.2 device, log attached. (See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=588115)

SDK apparently does not contain some Arrays methods, or Editor.apply method.

Changing Android project build target to SDK 8 shows errors in project.

I think this is next in line for 2.2 compat…

Raising importance.

This fails attempting to pair a 2,2 device to desktop

similar log to attached:

Pushed to inbound with next code drop.

(Note to inbound sheriff: we resolve our bugs when they land in android-sync, not when they merge to m-c. See the code drop bug in Bug 720933.)
