Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-7025:
------------------------------------
I submitted a PR that removes method handle usage in CompressionType
(KAFKA-12327). Can anyone here test with older versions of Android and see if
things work after that? If so, we can mark this as resolved too.

> Adding kafka-clients:1.0.0 (also 1.0.1 and 1.1.0) to an Android project would
> make the compilation fail: com.android.tools.r8.ApiLevelException:
> MethodHandle.invoke and MethodHandle.invokeExact are only supported starting
> with Android O (--min-api 26)
>
> Would it be possible to make the kafka-clients backward compatible with
> reasonable Android API (say, 4.4.x) please?
