Changed the required version to org.ocpsoft.prettytime:prettytime to 4.0.6.Final (as per the library documentation). This should be compatible with all the target OS versions.

Rather than reverting to older version, can you please explain from which class the issue occurs ? we can try fixing with latest version of prettytime.

Thanks for having a look.

Please refer to to original issue on my fork:
amaa-99#1

"This is due to the included version of the prettytime library using java 1.8 features which are not available in these OS versions.
As per the library documentation (https://github.com/ocpsoft/prettytime) version 4.0.6.Final or lower is to be used in these cases."

Java 1.8 (Java 8( is not Java 18. It should technically work with latest/old Android versions. I would like to fix the actual issue with 5.x version rather than downgrade it to 4.x

I've removed the org.ocpsoft.prettytime:prettytime (which was used in a single spot to format a string), and replaced the implementation to use standard APIs.
(I've removed the related unused code and declarations which made it seem that that was used more often.)

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(data.getTimestamp());
DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, DateFormat.SHORT);
holder.lastDenied.setText(dateFormat.format(calendar.getTime()));

This is the only place where that is used.

Thanks for PR. Does it retain the same functionality as prettytime ?

That's one of the java standard ways of printing a localized date/time (taking the time zone and ... into consideration).
It should do what's needed for the date/time string shown in the log view.

Actually it was not showing just data and time .It was showing the time lapse like 2s ago, 10s ago, 1 min ago etc.,

Note: In the detail view of the log entries the date/time is shown without any localization.
Probably the localized time should be shown there too.

I think the focus should be kept on fixing the crash first without adding complexity.
The pretty format can always be added on top...
I don't have much passion on which direction the solution goes, but I find it a pity having the app crash for something like that.
In my opinion as long as one can see the date/time of the logged event it's perfect (and it's even localized, so the US won't be mixing months with days ;)). What do you think?

Agree with your point. But I don't see any crashing reports based on this.

if (info != null && info.applicationInfo != null) {
Drawable drawable = info.applicationInfo.loadIcon(manager);
holder.icon.setBackground(drawable);
} else {
Drawable appIcon = context.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_unknown);
holder.icon.setImageBitmap(Api.getBitmapFromDrawable(appIcon));

The

holder.icon.setBackground(drawable);

is not consistent with the similar code a few lines below:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
    holder.icon.setBackground(context.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_unknown));
} else {
    Drawable appIcon = context.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_unknown);
    holder.icon.setImageBitmap(Api.getBitmapFromDrawable(appIcon));
}

At first glance it would seem that

holder.icon.setImageBitmap(Api.getBitmapFromDrawable(drawable))

should be used at that spot instead.

I will accept this PR if you handle the exception thrown by prettytime and fall back to normal timestamp rather than completely removing the feature.

Could you follow-up on this one? Just cherry pick what's useful into your branch and add the rest...
The issue can be reproduced in the device emulators for the Android 5 and 6: You just need to open the log view with some entries in there.
(Alternatively just add a call to those PrettyTime methods somewhere, e.g. in the creation of the apps list, to see the exception).

p.s. This seems to be a duplicate of the [(https://github.com//issues/1344)] issue.

Thanks. As indicated above, please add an exception to handle rather than removing prettytime all together. I will merge the PR once that's done.

…log' from the menu.

Dropped the use of the org.ocpsoft.prettytime:prettytime library: This fixes the crashes due to the library using unsupported language features on older platforms.
