Android Question widget ViewDragHelper error

[luke2012]

Hi All,
I'm trying to compile a old project after switch to AndroidX within B4A 9.30 but I got the error: "Failed resolution of: Landroid/support/v4/widget/ViewDragHelper$Callback".

I moved the android-support library from internal libraries to additional libraries folder.
I jetify it but this not resolve the error :-(

Any Idea about it?

Thanks in advance.
Luca.

I moved the android-support library from internal libraries to additional libraries folder.

??? What file you are talking about?
android-support-v4.jar? I´m positive that it is a mistake to have that file at all.

You (and all libraries) schould use maven artifacts instead of referencing a old, deprecated!, android-support-v4.jar
remove that file and instead add a dependency to com.android.support:support-v4

#additionaljar: com.android.support:support-v4

Hi @DonManfred. Thanks for your suggestion.

I removed the file android-support-v4.jar from internal and additonal libraries folders and I added the #additionaljar as you suggested:

#additionaljar: com.android.support:support-v4

But don't resolve. I got the same error during the app startup :-( See the log:

In the previous version of B4A with the old sdk the compilation worked fine, because I made many code updates for my customer.

I did an SDK Manager (provided by @Erel) update and now the error "Failed resolution of: Landroid/support/v4/widget/ViewDragHelper" is gone but I got a new compiling error :-( see the compiler log...

I googled "maven artifact" and I see these: "An artifact is a file, usually a JAR".
So within my build is missing a .jar file about "androidx.activity/activity" ?

You should start a new thread for any new issue
