Runtime tries to invoke method on non existing base class

[blagoev]

Bundle extends Object in Android 4.4 and Bundle extends BaseBundle on later android versions.
Invoking bundle.putInt() produces an error on devices running Android 4.4.4

The error is similar to this

This is related to this issue #404

[blagoev]

In the Redmi 2 issue #404 the exact code is
https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_android/blob/ea109c17d1383df894adbb1e88b64c547d7e5989/base-framework/framework.jar.out/smali/android/os/Bundle%241.smali

which indicates that Bundle extends Object and {N} runtime tries to invoke the putInt on BaseBundle class which is not present on that platform.

We discussed this problem, and we updated the documentation with detailed explanation, what measures to take when supporting older devices. The updated documentation explaining dealing with metadata can be found here.
