Those are not exceptions. They are messages from the runtime, indicating that your code refers to classes or methods that do not appear to exist on the version of Android you are running on. This is typical if you are using Build.VERSION.SDK_INT to conditionally execute code on newer devices and skip that code on older devices.

Thanks.My current target targetSdkVersion is 23.I will downgrade it to 22.Then will retry to run the code. – Somya Arora May 02 '16 at 19:36
@SomyaArora: Your `targetSdkVersion` has nothing to do with these messages. – CommonsWare May 02 '16 at 19:37
@SomyaArora: Since there is no problem, there is nothing that needs to be solved. There are ~1.5 billion Android devices in use. Most of them will log these messages for most Android apps that are in use. These messages are perfectly normal. Generally, you just ignore them. – CommonsWare May 02 '16 at 19:43
But my app is crashing.I have attached above the logcat after running the app.Please check that out. – Somya Arora May 02 '16 at 19:56
@SomyaArora: "But my app is crashing" -- how have you determined this? "I have attached above the logcat after running the app" -- there is no [Java stack trace](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3988788/what-is-a-stack-trace-and-how-can-i-use-it-to-debug-my-application-errors) there, and so that is not a sign that your app is crashing. – CommonsWare May 02 '16 at 19:59
@CommonsWare Thank you, first time I've seen these runtime logging messages - your answer confirmed what I thought already. – Mark Aug 25 '16 at 19:12
