Java – NoSuchMethodError – No static method comparison (java/util/Comparator)

I’m using Gluon on my Android device to sort List from java.util. The app doesn’t compile for iOS even with 8GB allocated (out of memory), but that’s another issue.

classpath 'org.javafxports:jfxmobile-plugin:1.3.4'

Compile 'com.gluonhq:charm:4.3.2'

jfxmobile version = '3.2.4'

This line that caused the crash:

highscoreList.sort(comparison(Highscore::getScore).reversed());//#89

I started searching and found this post about NoSuchMethodError , so I tried doing the following but it still crashes and now I have no idea :

Comparator<Highscore> comparator = new Comparator<Highscore>() {
    @Override
    public int compare(Highscore highscore1, Highscore highscore2) {
        return highscore1.getScore() - highscore2.getScore();
    }
};

highscoreList.sort(comparator); #97

Both are Comparator#comparing() 和 >List #sort (Comparator) is added at API level 24, your device may be running a lower API level.

Use Collections#sort() Might be better since API level 1.
