[Erel]

The error has nothing to do with Firebase. It is related to AppCompat. Make sure to use the latest version of the library.

 

[sentechnologies]

These are the libraries am using.

 

[Erel]

Create a new project with AppCompat and load the layout with the tool bar. Does it work?

 

[sentechnologies]

now only , i had noticed that after updating appcompat sdk from 1.0.2 to 1.1.0. i am facing this error. how can i revert it to 1.0.2

 

[Erel]

Reverting to an old version is in most cases the wrong solution. Are you able to run this example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/appcompat-with-toolbar-minimal-example.79896/#content ?

I've just tested it with the latest versions of all recommended items and it works fine.

yes the given appcompat is getting compiled and working fine

 

[Erel]

You need to compare it to your app and find what causes the problem. It is related to the ACToolbar.

 

[sentechnologies]

i used the below code in my Activity_Create() and it was worked fine in Appcompat SDK 1.0.2

Dim bd As BitmapDrawable
bd = LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"logo.png")

ActionToolBar.SetAsActionBar
ActionToolBar.Title = Application.LabelName
ActionToolBar.SubTitle = Application.VersionName
ActionToolBar.NavigationIconDrawable = bd
ActionToolBar.Elevation = 4dip

ABHelper.Initialize
AC.SetElevation(ActionToolBar,8dip)

ABHelper.ShowUpIndicator = False
'ABHelper.UpIndicatorDrawable = General.BitmapToBitmapDrawable(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "hamburger.png"))

ActionToolBar.InitMenuListener

 

[Erel]

Please use [code]code here...[/code] tags when posting code.

Take the AppCompat example and modify it so it reproduces the crash. Then upload it.

 

[sentechnologies]

in your appcompat example, which you sent in earlier post. i just added firebaseAdMob Lib in project, with above said Manifest content added and places google-services.json in b4a folder. and i got the same error in this app too. so, i come to conclusion there is some conflict issues between these. So, to revert back to normal state, i removed firebaseAdMob Lib and google-services.json from this project.

Now, the error continues. i don't know what is happening.

[sentechnologies]

Thanks Erel, i finally identified the source of error. it is raised because of SDK Build Tool. i uninstalled all versions of SDK build tool except 27.0.3, 28.0.3, 29.0.2.

Now, it is compiled as expected and working fine.
