error: cannot find symbol

[marcofuentes05]

Hello,

I have been using this library for the past six months without any major problem. Me and my team love it! However, I just updated my RN to version 0.73.1 (we were using 0.71.3) and now I can't build the app because of a bug in this ligbrary:

node_modules/@supersami/rn-foreground-service/android/src/main/java/com/supersami/foregroundservice/NotificationHelper.java:144: error: cannot find symbol
            notificationBuilder.addAction(R.drawable.redbox_top_border_background, bundle.getString("buttonText", "Button"), pendingBtnIntent);
                                           ^
  symbol:   variable drawable
  location: class R

I don't have a lot of knowledge in android development, but examining the file it seems the error is related to the rendering of buttons in the notification showed when the process is active:

Just commenting out lines 144 and 148 makes the error dissappear. I imagine this won't break anything in my app since we don't use buttons in our notifications. But I wonder what caused this issue? And how can I solve it the good way?

I am facing the same issue.

This clearly means that you are missing this drawable.redbox_top_border_background from the drawables.

I've never had this file. I've just checked my project's previous version, which was built with RN 0.70.6, and found no drawable.redbox_top_border_background. Lines 144 and 148 that @marcofuentes05 posted were also present by the time, but after I upgraded my RN to 0.73.2 I started having this problem. I wonder what I am trully missing here

I am also facing the same issue. Had anyone solved it? Or would like to suggest any "quick-fix". @marcofuentes05's answer solves the issue but in my case, I have to use buttons too.

[fredericosafebox]

I think that for some reason the class R is not accessible anymore. Maybe related to the RN version (which in my case was upgraded from 0.70.6 to 0.73), because my drawable folder structure remains the same.

[fredericosafebox]

I just checked here: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.drawable

R class is still available but it does not have 'redbox_top_border_background' anymore.

Maybe at some point it was removed from android?

If you are trying to access that, I do not think you will succeed anyway,

[fredericosafebox]

Maybe a solution is to use the new Notification.Builder addAction, which was added in API level 20, since it does not require an Icon as parameter. Or pass a valid Icon from R class to ensure it will not break.

Thanks! I will try.

I have found a solution for this.

just change -

R.drawable.redbox_top_border_background

to

com.facebook.react.R.drawable.redbox_top_border_background
