WM23 - Android generation error - use of deprecated API

HI,

I'm trying to use a piece of jave code in my Android app.
But it gives me a compilation error on "List<ResolveInfo>"


This happens after including the following import
import android.util.List;

Can't get rid of it, can someone shine a light?
BTW I want to start an APK file (updating my own app) which my app downloads from one of my servers instead of the Appstore. It worked for a long time, but not on Android 8 Oreo anymore.

Failure creating the Android application named <C:\Dev\Allinq\Src\Wm\Fbox\Exe\F-Box\FBox.apk>.


Command Line: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin\java.exe" "-Dorg.gradle.appname=C:\Dev\Allinq\Src\Wm\Fbox\Android\Gen" -classpath "C:\WINDEV Mobile 23\Personal\Android\Gradle\lib\gradle-launcher-2.14.1.jar" org.gradle.launcher.GradleMain assembleRelease -b "C:\Dev\Allinq\Src\Wm\Fbox\Android\Gen\build.gradle"


Error returned:

:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac - is not incremental (e.g. outputs have changed, no previous execution, etc.).

This is my code

			String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
			context.grantUriPermission(packageName, apkUri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION | Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
		}
	} else  {

	}
	getActiviteEnCours().startActivity(i);

Hi. Are you sure it's "import android.util.List;"?

I think the right thing to do is "import java.util.List;"
