The demo app build failed. How to fix an exception

问题:

I want to built the demo project from Udacity course from Google (Kotlin language). Project on Github for download.

1. Started Android Studio and selected Import project
2. When opened the code, I saw pop-ups asking to update the gradle plugin, chose Don't remind me again for this project. According Udacity course instruction.
3. And now, I saw that built: completed successfully.

But when I click Run on physical or virtual devices, I got an exception.

e: java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: 
   javax.annotation.processing.Processor: 
   android.databinding.annotationprocessor.ProcessDataBinding
   Unable to get public no-arg constructor

• I tried clean project (rebuild too) and Run again. The same exception.

• I found the topic and added to build.gradle the next

  // JAX-B dependencies for JDK 9+
  implementation "javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.2.11"
  implementation "com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-core:2.2.11"
  implementation "com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl:2.2.11"
  implementation "javax.activation:activation:1.1.1"
  

  In this case, I got an exception

  Task :app:kaptGenerateStubsDebugKotlin
  e: path\andfun-kotlin-android-trivia-starter-code\app\build\generated\data_binding_base_class_source_out\debug\dataBindingGenBaseClassesDebug\out\com\example\android\navigation\databinding\ActivityMainBinding.java:13: error: cannot find symbol
    protected ActivityMainBinding(DataBindingComponent _bindingComponent, View _root,
    symbol:   class DataBindingComponent
    location: class ActivityMainBinding
    ...
    e: java.lang.IllegalStateException:  failed to analyze: 
    java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
  

I am beginner. May you tell me, what I must to do? I just wanted to take a course, and I'm wasting my time on obscure exceptions.

• Android Studio 3.4.2
• Downloaded SDK for 19, 27, 28 API
• Physical device 27 API
• Virtual device 28 API
• JDK 9.0.4

回答1:

The problem consists on JDK. I have external JDK 9.0.4 and it works with Android app by Java, but no for Kotlin. Solution is simple, but for me it was difficult to reach.

Open project into Android Studio and go to:

File -> Project Structure -> SDK Location

• Set check Use embedded JDK
• Try built your project, works for me
