with the release of Android Studio 4.2 and AGP 4.2.0 we now have an ability to use Java 11 in android projects. I did update everything to point to Java 11, but compilation fails. If I put back JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8, it works.
All the compilation errors are in databinding(? or viewbinding) generated classes and complaining that android classes or packages could not be found. And I tried lot of things already, nothing works, JAVA_HOME points to java11, JDK in studio points to java11 and still:
some_module:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED
../DataBinderMapperImpl.java:3: error: package android.util does not exist
import android.util.SparseArray;
^
../DataBinderMapperImpl.java:4: error: package android.util does not exist
import android.util.SparseIntArray;
.. error: package android.view does not exist
So, what I have
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11
}
kotlinOptions {
jvmTarget = "11"
}
./gradlew -version returns:
