Build fails with androidX and jetifier enabled

[j-ns]

I migrated my project to androidX. Now I get the following error message on building the project:

The given artifact contains a string literal with a package reference 'android.support.v4.content' that cannot be safely rewritten. Libraries using reflection such as annotation processors need to be updated manually to add support for androidx.

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to transform butterknife-compiler-9.0.0-rc1.jar' using Jetifier. Reason: The given artifact contains a string literal with a package reference 'android.support.v4.content' that cannot be safely rewritten. Libraries using reflection such as annotation processors need to be updated manually to add support for androidx.

gradle.properties:

...
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

build.gradle (app module)

...
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

 compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

 buildToolsVersion '28.0.3'

implementation 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:9.0.0-rc1'
kapt 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:9.0.0-rc1'

gradle distribution: gradle-4.10.2

I've tried using different versions of the artifacts, still getting the same error

[JakeWharton]

Well that's stupid. I guess I'll just fool it's logic by splitting the string into two.

[JakeWharton]

Please test the SNAPSHOT build in about 20m. If this doesn't work I'm going to revert and ask you to file a jetifier bug.

[j-ns]

What's the version, 9.0.0-SNAPSHOT?

[JakeWharton]

Yep

Thanks!

I have the same bug and I can't find a way to resolve it. Any lead?

[ergun-p]

Having the same issue. Any updates on this?

[CeccoCQ]

Same issue here.

Having this issues after updated Android studio 3.3-beta03

[ViHtarb]

Have same issue after migrating to 3.4 canary 3 android studio version. please fix it faster :)

[avcwisesa]

I'm also having the same issue.

You can use the SNAPSHOT version to use.

@kimcy929

You can use the SNAPSHOT version to use.

When I used 9.0.0-SNAPSHOT, it worked again. 9.0.0-rc01 not work

[dogadaev]

Same issue.

[dogadaev]

using 9.0.0-SNAPSHOT helped!

why do i have to put this in every android studio project that i create now? its stupid.. and plus i keep getting a warning every time i compile that this is experimental and not stable. can butterknife solve this issue so we don't have to manually import that in gradle.properties file?

[JakeWharton]

It's not needed with 10.0.0.

The issue was with jetifier not this library.

thanks for the quick reply. i've been using 9.0.0-rc3 version, just noticed there is 10.0.0 which solves this problem

[wangqingpeng131]

When I used GlideApp, everything was fine, but when I switched to AndroidX, I compiled the error.

/app/build/generated/source/apt/debug/com/posttag/createbyai/GlideOptions.java:6: 错误: 程序包android.support.annotation不存在import android.support.annotation.CheckResult;

I tried to modify it. implementation("com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.9.0") { exclude group: "com.android.support" } But it doesn't work.

[h-amg]

I experienced the same problem after migrating to androidx. upgrade to the lest version of butterknife follow the library implementation instructions here. it'll work fine afterwords aside from some warning that has to do with am api going obsolete by the end of 2019

[denniswon]

Same issue here. After upgrading to AndroidX:

error: cannot find symbol
      @NonNull Registry registry) {

Does anyone know how to make the glide compiler to use 'androidx.annotation' for generating app glide module instead of 'android.support.annotation'?

@denniswon have you tried migrating to androidx using android studio migration tool?

@vaishaliidnani from the screenshot you posted i think your project is running fine. these are just warning messages about an api that's going to be deprecated soon and you can ignore it. you should be able to run your app with android studio emulator or on your phone without any problems

[monika2104yadav]

I am having the same issue after migrating to androidx. If I upgrade butterknife to 10.2.0 then it asks to upgrade gradle to 4.10.0 after which there are other errors for which there is a need to downgrade gradle and hence butterknife.
