Java ssm sdk min Android version

Question

I am trying to access the parameters store from an android terminal.
I am using the latest awssdk:
    implementation platform('software.amazon.awssdk:bom:2.27.14')
    implementation 'software.amazon.awssdk:ssm'

When running on Android 5, I get the following error:
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Ljava/time/Duration;

In my gradle file I am setting MinSdkVersion to 21 (meaning Android 5)
I saw that awssdk requires MinSdkversion 26 (Android 8)
Any way I can overcome this constraint?

Hi Zeev!

The AWS SDK for Java **requires a minimum Android API level of 26 (Android 8)** due to dependencies on newer Java classes like `java.time.Duration`. Unfortunately, this constraint can't be easily bypassed. A potential workaround is to **use an older version of the AWS SDK compatible with lower Android versions** or **directly call AWS REST APIs instead**.

I’m here to help!

Thanks Vitor!
Does AWS provides REST APIs to connect to the parameters store directly?

Thanks
