Getting java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: android.os.Fi

Question

I am facing issue in service onCreate() when trying to get SD Card id. Using FileUtils class of android.os package from src-external/android-core.

mCardId =
  FileUtils.getFatVolumeId(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath());

Crash Log :

FileUtils is a platform-internal class, annotated with @hide. You should not be using it.
