WARNING: API 'variant.getJavaCompile()' is

问题:

Suddently when Syncing Gradle, I get this error:

WARNING: API 'variant.getJavaCompile()' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'variant.getJavaCompileProvider()'.
It will be removed at the end of 2019.

Affected Modules: app

I've got this build.gradle for the app module:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
    buildToolsVersion "28.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "..."
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 1
        versionName "..."
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        versionNameSuffix = version_suffix

        [...]
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

            [...]
        }
        debug {
            [...]
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.2.61"
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0-rc02'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3'
    implementation "com.android.support:preference-v7:28.0.0"
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.1.0-alpha4'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.1.0-alpha4'
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0-rc02'

    [...]
}

I can compile correctly the app, but it's a bit bothering, and as I see it, something will stop working at the end of 2019. Any ideas of what is it and how to solve it?

回答1:

This is just a warning and it will probably be fixed before 2019 with plugin updates so don't worry about it. I would recommend you to use compatible versions of your plugins and gradle.

You can check your plugin version and gradle version here for better experience and performance.

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin

Try using the stable versions for a smooth and warning/error free code.

回答2:

Go back from classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0-alpha13' to classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'

this worked for me

回答3:

Updating gradle to gradle:3.3.0

The default 'assemble' task only applies to normal variants. Add test variants as well.

android.testVariants.all { variant -> tasks.getByName('assemble').dependsOn variant.getAssembleProvider() }

also comment apply fabric

//apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

回答4:

This is a warning spit out by build tools for two reasons.
1. One of the plugin is relying on Task instead of TaskProvider, there is nothing much we can do.
2. You have configured usage of task, where as it supports TaskProvider.

Look out for snippets as below & update.

android {
    <library|application>Variants.all { variant ->
        /* Disable Generating Build config */
        // variant.generateBuildConfig.enabled = true // <- Deprecated
        variant.generateBuildConfigProvider.configure {
            it.enabled = true // Replacement
        }
    }
}

Similarly, find usages of 'variant.getJavaCompile()' or 'variant.javaCompile', 'variant.getMergeResources()' or 'variant.mergeResources'. Replace as above.

I face this issue after updating to 3.3.0

If you are not doing what error states in gradle file, it is some plugin that still didn't update to the newer API that cause this. To figure out which plugin is it do the following (as explained in "Better debug info when using obsolete API" of 3.3.0 announcement):

• Add 'android.debug.obsoleteApi=true' to your gradle.properties file which will log error with a more details
• Try again and read log details. There will be a trace of "problematic" plugin
• When you identify, try to disable it and see if issue is gone, just to be sure
• go to github page of plugin and create issue which will contain detailed log and clear description, so you help developers fix it for everyone faster
• be patient while they fix it, or you fix it and create PR for devs

Hope it helps others

Upgrading the Kotlin (Plugin and stdLib) version to 1.3.1 solved that warning in my case. Update the Kotlin version in whole project by replacing existing Kotlin version with :

ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.1'

回答7:

In my case, I had to comment out com.google.firebase.firebase-crash plugin:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
// apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.firebase-crash' <== this plugin causes the error

It is a bug since Android Studio 3.3.0

回答8:

If you are using room just upgrade to 1.1.0 or higher

implementation "android.arch.persistence.room:runtime:1.1.0"

it removes this warning for me.
