Log4j-API-android is providing an implementation that we believe makes sense on android but without knowing what your logging configuration does we cannot know for sure. Log4J-core does not Have any Java 9 classes. Log4J 2.3 was the last release to support java 6. Is there something in log4j-core that uses Java 7 that android does not allow? Probably a lot actually. was (Author: ralph.go...@dslextreme.com): Above you mention you use xml configuration but I don't see one in that app. Can you provide that?
