Google maps v1 crashing in android 10

Question

I'm trying to use google map v1, in my android app, but app crashes as soon as I open map activity in android 10.

*FATAL EXCEPTION: DataRequestDispatcher
Process: c.techahead.androidmapsv1, PID: 6646

build.gradle

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 26
        multiDexEnabled true
        useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
    } 
    dependencies {
    provided files('libs/maps.jar')
     compile files('libs/org.apache.http.legacy.jar')
    compile files('libs/httpclient-4.0.3.jar')
}

useLibrary attribute at gradle should be inside android tag instead of defaultConfig — Marcos Vasconcelos, Sep 20 '19 at 16:44

Support for the Apache HTTP client was removed beginning with Android 9. What you need to do instead is add the following declaration:

<uses-library
    android:name="org.apache.http.legacy"
    android:required="false" />

within the <application> element of your AndroidManifest.xml.

Note that if you use (or update to) com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:16.1.0 or above, then you don't need to add this at all. For more details check out Google's documentation.

Hope this helps!

This seems not to suffice for Google Maps V1. `com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:16.1.0` is Maps V2 with a different API – ge0rg Oct 16 '19 at 10:56
Sorry you are right, this is V1, not V2. Can you please share a link to your Maps SDK for Android V1 code, so that I can reproduce this from my side? Note that V1 was deprecated in 2013 so it's almost a miracle that it still works at all (in Android 9)! – evan Jan 29 '20 at 13:57
