Android Question ACToolBarLight compile problem

Muhamad Kamal · Sep 2, 2019

Hi!

After I've updated the latest Android SDK v29, the sample from the following thread no longer working:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/appcompat-with-toolbar-minimal-example.79896/#content

Does anyone face the same problem?

I've got the following error during compilation:

B4X:

Compiling generated Java code.    Error
B4A line: 52
Dim jo As JavaObject = ACToolBarLight1
javac 1.8.0_201
src\b4a\example\main.java:452: error: cannot access Toolbar
_jo.setObject((java.lang.Object)(mostCurrent._actoolbarlight1.getObject()));
                                                                       ^
  class file for android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar not found

I've also downloaded the v4 and v7 support libraries and put it under "C:\android-sdk\extras\android\support" folder but this problem still exists.

No modification done to the sample code from Erel.

Can anyone please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Before I did the Android SDK update, i've updated B4A to version 9.30.. at that time this sample still working fine.. after the SDK update then the compilation failed..

the example that I was referring to is this one: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/attachments/appcompatwithdynamicmenuandbadge-zip.56463/

Download AppCompat again. It includes the jetified resource that is required for AndroidX SDK.

I removed all SDK files and re-download only the recommended list using SDK Manager.. but when I compiled it still gives the same error.. then I downloaded com.android.support:support-v4 (Google Maven) and com.android.support:appcompat-v7 (Google Maven).. still gives the same error..

For androidx there are support files for legacy appcompat v7 androidx.appcompat:appcompat included but those still does not compile.. if I remove this feature then the Lib for AppCompat in B4A could not be selected..

Any other idea?

if I add the following code to my activity module the errors are in the inline code section below:

in Main activity module:
#AdditionalRes: C:\android-sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\res, android.support.v7.appcompat

the appcompat-v7 support files were downloaded and added manually to the support folder..

compilation stuck at this line:

B4X:

Dim jo As JavaObject = ACToolBarLight1

I don't see any troubles. AppCompat is the same. SlidingMenuWrapper - 1.10.
Did you execute Jetifier in tools ?

I'm still learning about jetifier and still not fully understand how to migrate the library.. any source of reading that you could point me to?
most of my apps now are still using ACToolBarLight and quite a lot of coding need to be changed if this method is no longer usable in AndroidX..

I even tried updating all the SDK files using Android Studio but this error still exist..

Semen Matusovskiy · Sep 4, 2019

As I understand, alone, what is required, is to select "Jetifier" in Tools menu and to click Jetify button. Then to restart IDE.

Muhamad Kamal · Sep 4, 2019

Ah! I see what you meant.. Did that and that solved the problem.. thanks a lot

Check SlideMenu library. I used https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/attachments/slidingmenuwrapper-zip.51159/
It's necessary to Jetify again.

Erel · Sep 5, 2019

The jetifier tool will jetify all libraries in the additional libraries folder. Make sure NOT to copy it to the internal libraries folder.
