finally i download the repository and add its module manually to the android project and find the problem.

only java 8 can compile and run these moudels correctly. they use some special method that are defined in java 8 but not in java 7. java 7 can not compile them.

by looking at this refrence, android project need java 7 for compiling and running.

it seem that using Kotlogram in android project is impossible.
