Based on the Eclipse onlinehelp the Method is deprecated.

FirebaseRemoteConfig

firebase.google.com firebase.google.com

void setDefaults(Map<String, Object> defaults)
This method was deprecated. Use setDefaultsAsync(int) instead.
Click to expand...

Problem is that it now only allows to set a resourceid which must be a XML (i guess) in the Resourcefolder.

Unsure how to fix it. I guess we need to define the defaults in a xml now.

Edit to add:

github.com

quickstart-android/config/app/src/main/res/xml/remote_config_defaults.xml at master · firebase/quickstart-android

looks like we need to use such a xml. But not sure how to get it´s ID!?

As it says there, (Use setDefaultsAsync(int) instead. )

That method has another option with a Map:

Java: 
setDefaultsAsync(int resourceId)
Sets default configs using an XML resource.
  
setDefaultsAsync(Map<String, Object> defaults)
Asynchronously sets default configs using the given Map.
