java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter.getBluetoothLeAdvertiser

Question

I want to transmitting a Beacon by Android 4.4. (Galxy Nexus)

Here help: enter link description here

in my android app:

fun onClickTransmittingBeacon(view: View) {
        val result = BeaconTransmitter.checkTransmissionSupported(this)
        Log.d(TAG, "onClickTransmittingBeacon, result = $result")
        val beacon = Beacon.Builder()
                .setId1("2f234454-cf6d-4a0f-adf2-f4911ba9ffa6")
                .setId2("1")
                .setId3("2")
                .setManufacturer(0x0118)
                .setTxPower(-59)
                .setDataFields(Arrays.asList(*arrayOf(0L)))
                .build()
        val beaconParser = BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=beac,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25")
        val beaconTransmitter = BeaconTransmitter(applicationContext, beaconParser)
        beaconTransmitter.startAdvertising(beacon)
}

In logcat:

onClickTransmittingBeacon, result = 1

So as result my device support BLE . Nice.

But why in logcat I get runtime exception:

Android 4.4 is way too old to support this. You need Andorid 5.
