Unable to build app in Android Studio

[janreppien]

Hey, I really like the app and wanted to look into the code.

I've downloaded the app and opened it in Android Studio.

When I try to run the app in the emulator I get this error:

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: superclass access check failed: class org.jetbrains.kotlin.kapt3.base.javac.KaptJavaCompiler (in unnamed module @0x7a90e2b3) cannot access class com.sun.tools.javac.main.JavaCompiler (in module jdk.compiler) because module jdk.compiler does not export com.sun.tools.javac.main to unnamed module @0x7a90e2b3

I suspect that the SDK used for Gradle might be wrong?

[GrakovNe]

seems like it may be fault from my side. I'd check it out today/tomorrow

Could you say plz, what SDK version do you use?

[janreppien]

I am using these settings for Gradle:

I also tried different Gradle JDKs but with no effect

[GrakovNe]

Could you please try it out with the 17th version of JDK?

If it works, i do something to support the latest one JDK

[janreppien]

Sorry for the late reply. Switching to JDK 17 fixed the issue. If I had to guess using KSP instead of kapt might solve the problem. Now that I have a working version of the app, I can try to investigate the issue further. If I find anything I will just add further comments to this issue.

[GrakovNe]

That's good point, i'm planning to change kapt to ksp and other techdept. If you're successful with your inverstigation, let me know please, i'll merge any good PR which improves stability or quality

[GrakovNe]

FYI, I did moved from kapt to ksp in this PR: https://github.com/GrakovNe/lissen-android/pull/21

[GrakovNe]

Finally, after https://github.com/GrakovNe/lissen-android/pull/22 i can build project from a scratch on the 19+ JDK i.e. 23th

[janreppien]

Wow, you are quick!
