Method FloatMath.sqrt() not found

Question

I'm using the new Android Marshmallow SDK and the method FloatMath.sqrt() is gone. What should I use now?

Answer 1

The documentations say this:

Historically these methods were faster than the equivalent double-based java.lang.Math methods. On versions of Android with a JIT they became slower and have since been re-implemented to wrap calls to java.lang.Math. java.lang.Math should be used in preference.

@deprecated Use java.lang.Math instead.

This means the solution is to use the Math class:
