Android Question Android 4 and SSL without GMS

[WimS]

I have a device with Android 4.4.3 and without GMS (Google Mobile Service).

I use Okhttp and I get the following error using SSL :

ResponseError. Reason: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: javax.net.ssl.SSLProtocolException: SSL handshake aborted: ssl=0x613ab318: Failure in SSL library, usually a protocol error

I have looked at this tread : https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/android-4-and-ssl-problem.97719/#post-696647

But the device don't have GMS. So what can I do ?

It fails to run this code: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ssl-websocket-client.88472/page-2#post-560044 right?

Yes, I have tried this but It also fails.

If you have control over the server then enable TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1.

I haven't control over the server. I connect to a soap webservice who is strictly :-(

1. Test it with Android 5+ device.
2. Android 4.4, especially without Google services are very rare devices. I'm not sure that it is worth the efforts to try and deal with such devices.

You might be able to create a library that uses a custom TLSSocketFactory. However it will be difficult to combine it with OkHttp.

On all newer devices it works ok.

I am also afraid there is no solution.
