MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name sun.util.logging.resources.logging, locale en_US

Question

I am getting,

Caused by java.lang.InternalError: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name sun.util.logging.resources.logging, locale en_US 

in my application from firebase crash report.

Other details

Manufacturer: HTC
Model: HTC 10 
Android API: 24 

Here is the stack trace

Here is the relevant Logger code

private static ResourceBundle findSystemResourceBundle(final Locale var0) {
        return (ResourceBundle)AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction() {
            public ResourceBundle run() {
                try {
                    return ResourceBundle.getBundle("sun.util.logging.resources.logging", var0, ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader());
                } catch (MissingResourceException var2) {
                    throw new InternalError(var2.toString());
                }
            }
        });
    }

I have got crash report for locale en_AU too.

Since the crashing code is not controlled by me, how do I prevent this crash?

Analysis:

MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name sun.util.logging.resources.logging, locale en_US

The system generates candidate bundle names

sun/util/logging/resources/logging_en_US
sun/util/logging/resources/logging_en
sun/util/logging/resources/logging

For each candidate bundle name, it attempts to load a resource bundle:

First, it attempts to load a class using the generated class name.

If such a class can be found and loaded using the specified class loader, is assignment compatible with ResourceBundle, is accessible from ResourceBundle, and can be instantiated, getBundle creates a new instance of this class and uses it as the result resource bundle.

Otherwise, getBundle attempts to locate a property resource file using the generated properties file name.

It generates a path name from the candidate bundle name by replacing all "." characters with "/" and appending the string ".properties". It attempts to find a "resource" with this name using java.lang.ClassLoader.getResource(java.lang.String). (Note that a "resource" in the sense of getResource has nothing to do with the contents of a resource bundle, it is just a container of data, such as a file.) If it finds a "resource", it attempts to create a new PropertyResourceBundle instance from its contents. If successful, this instance becomes the result resource bundle.

Have a more detailed look here how a ressource is resolved.

Since the system is looking in the classpath for any of these files in descending order (usually there are no _en*.properties)

sun/util/logging/resources/logging_en_US.properties
sun/util/logging/resources/logging_en.properties
sun/util/logging/resources/logging.properties

it would be a workaround to add such a file (or a class as mentioned above) to your app. The content of the property files looks like this:

# Localizations for Level names.  For the US locale
# these are the same as the non-localized level name.

# The following ALL CAPS words should be translated.
ALL=All
# The following ALL CAPS words should be translated.
SEVERE=Severe
# The following ALL CAPS words should be translated.
WARNING=Warning
# The following ALL CAPS words should be translated.
INFO=Info
# The following ALL CAPS words should be translated.
CONFIG= Config
# The following ALL CAPS words should be translated.
FINE=Fine
# The following ALL CAPS words should be translated.
FINER=Finer
# The following ALL CAPS words should be translated.
FINEST=Finest
# The following ALL CAPS words should be translated.
OFF=Off
