Android Question [solved] Maven artifact not found androidx.legacy/legacy-support-V4

[saunwin]

Hi,
I want to use runtime permissions, but when I tick the library box I get the above error.
B4A 9.8, latest Java 8, everything works apart from this library.
Searching the forums it seems a common problem, but I've exhausted all the threads and still no joy.
Can anyone guide me what to do next please ?
TIA

Are you using AndroidX?
Can you post the compilation window-text or the full error?

If you are using AndroidX. Open the sdkmanager and search for legacy. Install the found Artifact,

DonManfred, All i'm doing is ticking RunTime permissions in the library window to include it. As soon as I tick the box, this pops up. I'm not using android x

 

[saunwin]

OK - I'm now using AndroidX, but still the same error. SDK all installed

It wil sucessfully complie if I rem out all references to runtime library and remove runtime permissions from the library list

 

[saunwin]

I'm begining to think there is a bug here - as an empty project will not compile with the runtime permissions library included (same error)

Please export and post this empty test project in your next response...

 

[saunwin]

Thanks Peter - this is just the start up project with the runtime permissions library added.

 

[Peter Simpson]

That's interesting @saunwin as your blank project works perfectly fine here.

 

[DonManfred]

looks like you are using an OLD sdk.

I suggest to install a new sdk. Follow the installationinstructions carefully. It will just work.

Many thanks Peter and Donmanfred - I'll do a re-install. fingers crossed.

If you do not get it working. If you provide a Anydesk ID then i can help you setting it up correctly. But only after 5PM (german time)....

That would be fantastic DonManfred - I'll try the SDK re-install first and let you know. Many thanks

I've updated the "resources" package a few days ago. This means that you don't need to run the SDK Manager at all. Just follow the installation instructions and you should have all the required components.

it is this step, right?

• Download the required resources.
• Unzip in the same folder. It should look like this:

Yes.

Thanks DonManfred - The SDK was out of date
