Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
I'm recommending EweSticker to users and several users have Android<8
Describe the solution you'd like
The app can be used at least in Android 5
Describe alternatives you've considered
Some user did a modification to the app with this apks that allow to quickly patch other apps in your phone, and some report to be able to use this mod in older Androids
Additional context
I am recommending this app to Delta Chat users, Delta Chat is a FLOSS messenger app and it has sticker support but still don't have a built-in sticker selector so EweSticker + DeltaChat is a nice symbiosis, issue is that Delta Chat supports up to Android 4.1, and EweSticker only up to Android 8, so a good part of the user base can't use EweSticker.
More info about Delta Chat: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android and https://delta.chat/
btw, this is how stickers sent with EweSticker looks in Delta Chat:
thanks for the great work!
In my testing the app requires extra work to support older versions and few people (worldwide) seem to use older that api 26 (13% according to https://apilevels.com/)
You're welcome to open a merge request for this providing that this can be done without adding loads to the codebase. But this looks like a lot of work and therefore time that I do not have so going to mark this wontfix
Thanks for the issue :)
it is bigger than 13% not everyone uses Google Play etc. still 13% of the world is a big part ;)
I will play with this when I manage to download deps etc. and can compile the app
Sounds good! Looks like it's going to be a lot of work as the sticker import uses methods that require API 26+
