Android USES

it’s a pity that did not provide gradle dependence, only from the source code or download bin file copies jars to the Android projects in use, can appear but in Android USES Java. Lang. NoSuchMethodError: No static method decodeHex (Ljava/lang/String;)
[B in class Lorg/apache/commons/codec/binary/Hex; or its super classes (declaration of ‘org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex’ appears in /system/framework/org.apache.http.legacy.boot.jar)

why

Android also has a copy of the package name and class name of the API we use, but the point is there is no such method in the system! This results in a package name conflict, and the system finds the same class with the same name in its SDK, and then calls the method we use below the system’s own class.
however the system does not have that method at all, it is not called at all. And then there’s no and then there’s less than /p>

solution

obtained the source code by itself, modified the package name, and then recompiled into a jar package, and then imported into the Android project for use; Recompile and run your Own Android project, and you’ll see that the previous problems are gone;
