I'm hoping someone might shed some light on this issue. I am trying to change the support library versions from:
compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:23.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.1.0'
to
compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.1.1'
What usually seems like a simple minor upgrade has caused me the entire day. Basically upon updating the gradle.build file, I sync -> clean, and there appears a bunch of Cannot Resolve Symbol errors appearing on the IDE for classes from the support library.
What's further interesting about this is that if I try to run the code on my phone through adb, despite AS showing up as "Cannot resolve symbol", it runs perfectly fine on my phone.
Among the things I've tried:
- Clean / Rebuild
- Invalidate cache / restart
- Delete all the .iml files and the .idea folder
- Reinstalling of Android Studio, reimport of project
- Rebooting
Digging further into the build directory, they are similar in the sense that both
build\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.android.support\appcompat-v7\23.1.0\jars\classes.jar
and
build\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.android.support\appcompat-v7\23.1.1\jars\classes.jar
were generated respectively. What's different is that in AS, for the previous version, the "classes.jar" can be opened in AS where as with the new version, they cannot be opened in AS.
I feel that I have pretty much exhausted all available options so if anyone can shed some light on how to resolve this, I would really much appreciate it.
