Question

I’m using Retrofit 2 and OkHttp3 to data from server and I get error while using Min_SDK 17 and my device’s API is 17 also

I tried this answer :How to fix Expected Android API level 21+ but was 19 in Android

Also I tried this answer https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/4597#issuecomment-461204144

but I get the same error .

my Gradle.Build class

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

     android {

    applicationId "some"
    minSdkVersion 17

    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"

    exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
}
compileOptions {
    targetCompatibility = "8"
    sourceCompatibility = "8"
}

    checkReleaseBuilds false
    // Or, if you prefer, you can continue to check for errors in release builds,
    // but continue the build even when errors are found:
}
 }

The problem is that you have added OkHttp dependency twice.

In your build.gradle you have:

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation "com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.11.0"
    ...
    implementation "com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.13.1"
}

Starting with version 3.13.0 they removed support for Android < 5. You just need to delete the

implementation "com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.13.1"

line and it should work fine

If you guys have still crash on Android 4.0 and above, here is quick solution:

implementation("com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.7.1")

implementation("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.12.8") {
force = true
}

implementation "com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:3.12.8"

Above code tested and verified on Android 4.4
Thanks

getting below error : javax.net.ssl.SSLProtocolException: SSL handshake aborted: ssl=0xb9570410: Failure in SSL library, usually a protocol error error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version (external/openssl/ssl/s23_clnt.c:741 0x8d9f3990:0x00000000) — SAndroidD, Feb 3, 2021 at 9:43
force = true is deprecated. Use MutableVersionConstraint#strictly(String) instead — Iman Marashi, Feb 16, 2021 at 17:56

In your gradle file you have:

implementation "com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.11.0"

The docs say:

https://square.github.io/okhttp/

OkHttp works on Android 5.0+ (API level 21+) and on Java 8+.

The OkHttp 3.12.x branch supports Android 2.3+ (API level 9+) and Java 7+. These platforms lack support for TLS 1.2 and should not be used. But because upgrading is difficult we will backport critical fixes to the 3.12.x branch through December 31, 2020.

So you could try:

implementation "com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.12.0"
