Android Question FusedLocationProvider B4A 9.80 issue (Doesn't compile)

[jtare]

I recently upgraded to B4A 9.80, followed the AndroidX tutorial (upgrading everything in the sdk manager and jettify everything) but still can't compile a project with the fusedlocationprovider library, I can't not even compile the example of this post by Erel (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/fusedlocationprovider-resolution-dialog.111652/#content).

This is the error:

Generating R file.    Error
d:\android\android-sdk\tools\..\extras\b4a_remote\com\android\support\support-compat\28.0.0\unpacked-support-compat-28.0.0\res\values\values.xml:36: error: Attribute "fontProviderFetchStrategy" already defined with incompatible format.

If I delete the following

#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services-location

And the code in the manifest

AddApplicationText(<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />)

It can pass the Generating R file step but gets stuck later on because it can't find the additional jar.
Any idea on how to fix this?

You are using an unjetified library. Probably AppCompat and the library is probably in the internal libraries folder instead of the additional libraries folder.

I created a new project with just the core and fusedlocationprovider library and still can't compile. Could the core library be unjetified? The jetifier says "All set. Nothing to do!"

The internal libraries do not need to be jetified.

Best option is to download Android SDK with the additional resources: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html
You don't need to run the sdk manager.
Make sure to update the IDE to use the new SDK (Tools - Configure Paths - android.jar).

Replacing the resources worked. Thanks Erel.
