Answer 1

EDIT: OP mutated the question since it was answered, so this answer does no longer apply.

The class android.app.job.JobScheduler was added in API level 21 (Android 5.0). It is therefore clear that the app would crash on earlier Android versions.

Answer 2

JobScheduler isn't backported, however, there's the Firebase JobDispatcher that supports the same API and is backported via Google Play Services .

The Firebase JobDispatcher is a library for scheduling background jobs in your Android app. It provides a JobScheduler-compatible API that works on all recent versions of Android (API level 9+) that have Google Play services installed.

Answer 3

**If your minSdkVersion is set to 21 or higher, all you need to do is set multiDexEnabled to true in your module-level build.gradle file, as shown here:**

android {
defaultConfig {
    ...
    minSdkVersion 21 
    targetSdkVersion 25
    multiDexEnabled true
}``
...

}

dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' }

 public class MyApplication extends MultiDexApplication { ... }

Application extends SomeOtherApplication { @Override protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) { super.attachBaseContext(base); MultiDex.install(this); } }
