[Android] v0.22.5 doesn't compile with RN 0.33

[hirviid]

Compilation fails (both dev and release) for version 0.22.5, with error: cannot find symbol import com.facebook.react.bridge.BaseActivityEventListener:

Hard to believe...I was just working on this yesterday. Don't forget to npm install and run a gradle sync again.

Your example works indeed, will try to find why it fails in my project and let you know.

[marcshilling]

A few things to check:

• In the project build.gradle, make sure the allprojects declaration looks like this:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
    }
}

• In the app build.gradle, ensure react-native is compiled like this:

compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules

And for good measure, run ./gradlew clean inside the android/ directory.

Thanks @marcshilling !
Indeed, I had a build.gradle from an older react-native version, with url "$projectDir/../../node_modules/react-native/android".

I changed it and now it works perfectly.

Thank you for your quick response.

Hi! I have the same problem, but I couldnt fixed, please @hirviid could you be more specific?

[hirviid]

Hi @mcatmos, I created a new project with react-native init tempProject and compared the android specific files with my project (initially created with RN 0.27.2). For me, changing url in android/build.gradle to "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android" fixed it.

Hi! I changed to "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android" but still the same problem. I'm with RN 0.26.2

i met this issue a week ago,so sad
For me, url in android/build.gradle

output

[marcshilling]

@liuliangsir2016 your code is incorrect. Your build.gradle url needs to be exactly url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android". Then run clean and build.

@marcshilling thx,it works

Today I learned you can't do this:

android/build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
          url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
          url 'https://github.com/500px/500px-android-blur/raw/master/releases/'
        }
    }
}

gotta split up the maven stuff (I didn't even know what maven was)

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
          url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
        maven {
          url 'https://github.com/500px/500px-android-blur/raw/master/releases/'
        }
  }
}
