Android Question Problem with NinePatch

[Creaky]

Hi guys!

It's been quite a while since I worked on my apps and today I run into a problem with NinePatch in one of my apps.
This used to work fine, but after dusting off the code and trying to run it on Android 12 I get the next error:

ninepatch_setninepatchbutton (java line: 55)
java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: No field ics_button in class Ljvc/starlog/R$drawable; (declaration of 'jvc.starlog.R$drawable' appears in base.apk)

The Ninepatch images are in the same folder as they have always been and cleaning the project doesn't help.
Can somebody please give me a hand with this?

Can you post the contents of Objects/gen/<package name>/R.java after a release compilation and also the actual parameter values of the call to Sub SetNinePatchButton that is failing.

 

[Creaky]

Here is the R.java file. I have yet to find the actual call in the code...

 

[agraham]

The field ics_button is definitely available in the drawable class in your R.java so I don't understand why it is not accessible by reflection. Check that you don't have an extra space or other non-printable character at the start or end of the DefaultImage or PressedImage parameter strings. Otherwise I am afraid that I have no other suggestion to make.

Thanks Agraham, I will go through my code with a fine comb again. I must have missed something.
