No static method startForegroundService

Hello, below is the error log:

This error crashed my app.

I did this :

//leakcanary
debugImplementation ('com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-android:1.6.1'){
    exclude group: 'com.android.support'

}
releaseImplementation ('com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-android-no-op:1.6.1'){
    exclude group: 'com.android.support'

}

Because there is some error in Manifest when I add the leakcanary dependency, I can't build sucessfully, so I exclude the com.android.support, below is the manifest merger error :

Manifest merger failed : Attribute meta-data#android.support.VERSION@value value=(25.4.0) from [com.android.support:preference-v7:25.4.0] AndroidManifest.xml:25:13-35

26.1.0 or newer is required. The support library stopped using manifest metadata for version tracking.

If you want to force all of the support libraries to the same version you can use this snippet: https://github.com/JakeWharton/SdkSearch/blob/e5c57c064c146edb0b863a0f3e2bba25fd2215a3/build.gradle#L155-L164. Use a version like 27.1.1 or 28.0.0-rc01. 25.x is years old. So is 26.x...

Hi @JakeWharton

Yes, after updating to 27.1.1, the error has gone.

So I can't use Leakcanary if I use 25.+??

[JakeWharton]

Correct
