Android Question android.support.v7.app does not exist

[AHilton]

And, yes, I did see this thread: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...lass-android-support-v7-app-not-exist.114192/

I re-downloaded appcompat 4.0 and placed it in my additional libraries folder, refreshed and cleaned the project. Also, made sure that there wasn't the appcompat files in the internal libraries folder. Still same error when compiling. Any other ideas?

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

Does it work for you?

 

[AHilton]

Yes, it does. I should have mentioned that the project that threw me the error is a well-established one that hasn't had any changes (I don't think) in several months and has been running well for a few years now. I just upgraded to B4A 10.2 and that error came up. Obviously, something has gotten screwed-up somewhere.

android.support.v7 does not exist any more it's replaced with androidx.

I've taken out the "android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity" line from each of the Activities in that project but, yet, leaving the android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity" line above each of those in there and the app compiles and loads now. And, it doesn't seem to be any worse for it, either. I don't remember exactly why it was in there in the first place. I'll do some more testing of the app to see what's going to break.
