Android Question NotificationBuilder AndroidX issues

[Yuri Cinesi]

I'm having some issues compiling my app that uses notification builder after the switch to androidX. It's similar to the issue described in this post (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4a-v9-30-beta-has-been-released.107225/#post-670620). I have however already updated to beta 4 and that hasn't fixed the issue.

And yes I have run the jetifier tool. It seems to close before the bar has gotten to the end however, and I can't find any files with the .androidx extension in the additional libraries folder. Is this normal or is there something wrong with my jetifier tool?

Here's the compiler log:

Compiling generated Java code.    Error
B4A line: 124
nb.SetStyle(nbInboxStyle)
javac 1.8.0_101
src\com\infogiovio\app\downloadservice.java:616: error: cannot access NotificationCompat

                                                                                 ^
  class file for android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat not found

Edit: I am actually having further issues, here are the crash logs.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Landroid/support/v7/widget/PopupMenu;
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "android.support.v7.widget.PopupMenu" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.infogiovio.app-1/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/vendor/lib64, /system/lib64]]

Not normal. Where is the additional libraries folder stored?

You can run the tool from the command line. It will allow you to see the error message.

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Anywhere Software\Basic4android
java -jar Jetifier.jar c:\Users\H\Documents\AdditionalLibs\B4A

Change the path to the additional libraries as needed.

I bet it's because the folder has a space in it. Testing now.

Scratch that. Here's the error log.

I did test it with a folder with space. But lets see...

 

[Yuri Cinesi]

Using the --illegal-access=warn flag does not fix the issue.
It does not seem related to the folder being in program files as running it in an elevated command prompt doesn't fix it either.

 

[Erel]

The error happens because you saved it under Program Files. This is a restricted folder. This is not a good place for the additional libraries folder.

 

[Yuri Cinesi]

Yep, moving everything fixes it. Wonder why it wouldn't work even under an elevated command prompt. Many thanks.

I've updated the tool and it will show an error message when this error happens.
