Hello, As a follow up of a discussion on android list, I would like to gather some comments or point of views about the following dilemma. Currently, the mandatory parts of KFileMetaData compile for Android using API level 21 (Android 5.0). The class UserMetaData is relying on extended attributes supported ony starting with API level 21. My own phone is Android 4.4 (API level 20). I am wondering if making the class UserMetaData be optional (currently part of the ABI) is a good idea. I could ensure it is only optional on Android as a way to not break the ABI.
According to Google (https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/ index.html) its still 18.8 % of the phones. Any advice, comments, ... ? Thanks in advance Best regards
