Support Android Nougat #5

[iainalba]

As described in this issue:

#5

the FontManager was only including Android N Preview versions. As a result a Font Manager Implementation class was not being assigned to IMPL when running with Android N. Therefore, the logic was altered to allow Android versions >= Marshmallow to use FontManagerImpl24().

Thanks, @iainalba . I would have done a PR, but I haven't had much response with my previous ones ;)

Also, note the link provided above appears to be broken.

I have used the above fix and it started working on Android N but now it crashes on Android M. The error is same as before but now it's on Android M.
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method addFontWeightStyle(Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer;ILjava/util/List;IZ)Z in class Landroid/graphics/FontFamily; or its super classes (declaration of 'android.graphics.FontFamily' appears in /system/framework/framework.jar)

[iainalba]

Yeh I realised I made a stupid mistake, but then never pushed my changes. I'll push them now.

[Aditya-Sh]

Thank you for the prompt reply. Can you update once you push changes? Thanks

[Aditya-Sh]

@iainalba The latest committed changes work. Thank you.

Hi @jhansche, are there any future plans to merge this PR and doing a new release of the library?

[jhansche]

Ideally the compileSdkVersion should be updated, so that you can use Build.VERSION_CODES.N instead of a hard-coded 24

[jhansche]

This should use Build.VERSION_CODES.N, by updating compileSdkVersion to 24+

[jhansche]

Also, IIRC, there were differences even within the Nougat preview releases. It's been a while, but I thought I had to make changes as newer releases were coming out.

Granted, those were previews, and ideally should not be shipped on production devices, so arguably not worth digging too far into.

[troyjperales]

I agree with using version codes provided by framework and not worrying about preview releases. I already pulled in the source and did a fix for this to support a project I was on last year. I'm supposed to jump back on that project some time next week and can update this. But hopefully @iainalba can get around to it before that.

Thanks for getting back to us @jhansche !

Looking forward a solution here :)

[jhansche]

Sorry all for not getting back to these... I don't recall seeing any notifications for the existing issues and PRs, until this morning. 😬

As for a new release @rogercotrina, I do think it makes sense to do a new release when these are merged. I'll just have to remember how to do the release 😕

[llleodeleon]

Someone accept this merge for the love of God!

[jaggs6]

@jhansche can this be merged if everything is fine? Thanks. Also need a new release after that.

Thanks. Need a new release for it. @jhansche
