NoClassDefFoundError when updating Androod support from 23.2.0 to 23.1.1

Question

I am updating the Android Support Library from version 23.1.1 to 23.2.0 and should update the Android Support Library repository in Android Studio. Since there are some bugs in the new version, I want to downgrade it. After downgrading to 23.1.1, I got these errors

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: android/support/v7/widget/TintManager; at android.support.design.widget.TabLayout$TabView.<init>(TabLayout.java:1185) at android.support.design.widget.TabLayout.createTabView(TabLayout.java:656) at android.support.design.widget.TabLayout.addTabView(TabLayout.java:695) at android.support.design.widget.TabLayout.addTab(TabLayout.java:386) at android.support.design.widget.TabLayout.addTab(TabLayout.java:361) at android.support.design.widget.TabLayout.setTabsFromPagerAdapter(TabLayout.java:645) at android.support.design.widget.TabLayout.setupWithViewPager(TabLayout.java:616) at co.appedu.snapask.activity.MainActivity.onStart(MainActivity.java:174) at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnStart(Instrumentation.java:1236) at android.app.Activity.performStart(Activity.java:6006) at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2321) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2420) at android.app.ActivityThread.access$900(ActivityThread.java:154) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1321) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:102) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:135) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5292) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:372) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:904) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:699) 

when i call TabLayout.setupWithViewPager(ViewPager)

The same code may compile before updating the Support Library

Answer 1

Check if you have also updated other dependencies. I had a similar problem, and my problem was in another library, which depended on 23.2.0.

Answer 2

Like @basv, 23.1.1 contains the TineManager class, 23.2.0 deleted it. Design Lib material from 23.1.1 is dependent on TineManager. So, upgrade the two libraries at the same time.

I tried this way successfully. I hope so, haha.
