Exception java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: decodeBase64 in Android devices with API < 28

從 com.google.api.client.util.Base64.java 和 PemReader 開始，定位 stack trace 到達不相容的 decodeBase64 呼叫的位置，然後檢查 Apache Commons Codec 相依性如何針對 Android 解析。在低於 28 的 API 上使用 Android 語音範例重現，並確認載入認證資訊時不再擲出 NoSuchMethodError。

Hi,
We have found that the library is throwing an exception in any Android device with and API < 28 (Android 9.0) after version com.google.cloud:google-cloud-speech:0.70.0-beta. The problem is related with this issue. As far as we know, Apache common codec library dependency version is 1.10 in this project, but Android in versions below 9.0 has the same classes in boot classpath, so classes from the version 1.10 will never be loaded. This issue will not be solved in Android, thus we would like to ask for a solution here, removing/replacing the dependency in some way.
Thanks in advance.

Please include as much information as possible:

Environment details

• OS: Android API < 28
• Java version:1.8
• google-cloud-java version(s): from 0.71.0-beta

Steps to reproduce

1. Zip file attached or get Android speech example source code from:
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/android-docs-samples/tree/master/speech/SpeechRecognitionClient

2. Import app into Android Studio.

3. Modify build-gradle (module app) file to update dependencies in
section dependencies:

 // add these dependencies for the speech client
    implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-okhttp:1.18.0'
    implementation 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-speech:0.71.0-beta'

4. Build app with Android Studio and run in development mode on Android device below API 28.
