cannot access SupportSQLiteDatabase #475
Description
I get the error below when trying to compile my app.
error: cannot access SupportSQLiteDatabase
class file for androidx.sqlite.db.SupportSQLiteDatabase not found
When I use the gradle method, everything works like a charm. But after building the project myself and and implementing the generated .aar file in my project, it does not seem to work.
The are no instructions on what to do after building the project yourself. How do I use the generated .aar file in my project successfully?
Regards,

How exactly are you doing this?
From your symptoms, my guess is that you copied the AAR into some directory (e.g.,
libs/) and are adding it to the project Gradle file via a statement likeimplementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.aar']). If so, that will not work for most AAR files. That approach only adds the AAR itself, not any transitive dependencies. The pre-built AAR is distributed via a Maven repository, with a POM file that contains a list of the transitive dependencies, so Gradle knows to download them. You would need to decide how to include those transitive dependencies in your project. One simple but crude approach is to copy the relevant lines from the library'sbuild.gradlefile into your own (in this case,implementation "androidx.sqlite:sqlite:2.0.1").hirani89 commentedon Sep 11, 2019
