Cannot define plugin properties on Android

[rosshambrick]

The property key max length on Android devices/emulators is 31 characters thereby preventing the ability to set properties for use by the plug in system.

The property key template is 29 characters on its own.
rxjava.plugin.[class-name-here].implementation

Is it likely that a shorter key could be used to enable this feature on Android?

I'm not familiar with the constraints on Android. How about we give you the following system property that wraps other system properties:

rxjava.props.1.key=rxjava.plugin.[class-name-here].implementation
rxjava.props.1.value=come.somepath.SomeClass

i.e., is it possible the use System.setProperty(key, value) on Android with long keys? Does the 31 character limit apply to command-line only?

[benjchristensen]

I have to say, that is a ridiculous limitation.

We can't change existing keys, but if someone wants to submit a PR with aliases that set both, that could work.

I've posted PR #3513 with a shorter scheme proposal.
