Execution failed for task ': app: compileDebugJavaWithJavac' Update for Android Studio 3.1

Question

I get an error after updating Android Studio 3.1 Canary 6

I do not understand why this happens before it works successfully.

The main mistake:

 org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'. 

My gradle file:

 apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 27 buildToolsVersion '27.0.3' defaultConfig { applicationId "com.example.demo" minSdkVersion 15 targetSdkVersion 27 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true } dataBinding { enabled true } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } productFlavors { } } dependencies { implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs') implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.2' implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.0.2' implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2' implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.0.2' implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.3.0' implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.2' implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.0.2' implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.0.2' implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.1.0' implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:3.6.0' compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2' compile 'com.dlazaro66.qrcodereaderview:qrcodereaderview:2.0.3' compile 'com.github.elevenetc:badgeview:v1.0.0' annotationProcessor 'com.github.elevenetc:badgeview:v1.0.0' testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12' androidTestImplementation('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1', { exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations' }) } 

Is there any solution?

Answer 1

• My solution is simple, do not see the error notification in Build-Run tasks (Execution failed: app: compileDebugJavaWithJavac 'must be completed to complete the task )

• Just fix all the errors in the Java compiler section below.

Answer 2

I had a similar problem and there were no errors in Compilation. I tried to clean and restore without any success. I managed to find the problem using Invalidate Caches / Restart from the File menu, after rebooting I managed to see a compilation error.

Answer 3

I found a solution as my problem with Android Studio 3.1 Canary 6

My backup of Android Studio 3.1 Canary 5 was useful to me and saved my half day.

Now My build.gradle:

 apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 27 buildToolsVersion '27.0.2' defaultConfig { applicationId "com.example.demo" minSdkVersion 15 targetSdkVersion 27 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true } dataBinding { enabled true } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } productFlavors { } } dependencies { implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs') implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}" implementation "com.android.support:design:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}" implementation "com.android.support:support-v4:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}" implementation "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}" implementation "com.android.support:cardview-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}" implementation "com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.3.0" implementation "com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.2" implementation "com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2" implementation "com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.3.0" implementation "com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:3.6.0" implementation "com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2" implementation "com.dlazaro66.qrcodereaderview:qrcodereaderview:2.0.3" compile 'com.github.elevenetc:badgeview:v1.0.0' annotationProcessor 'com.github.elevenetc:badgeview:v1.0.0' testImplementation "junit:junit:4.12" androidTestImplementation("com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1", { exclude group: "com.android.support", module: "support-annotations" }) } 

and My gradle :

 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0-alpha06' 

and his work is finally.

I think the problem is in Android Studio 3.1 Canary 6

Thank you all for your time.

Answer 4

I am Android Studio 3.1 Build # AI-173.4670197, built March 22, 2018 JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1024-b02 amd64 JVM: 64-bit OpenJDK virtual machine from JetBrains sro Windows 10 10.

I had the same problem and it only worked after changing my build.grade file to

  compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 } 

Nothing worked before this change, and all compilers failed. previously my settings were

 sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 

Answer 5

Try updating buildToolVersion to 27.0.2 instead of 27.0.3

The error is probably related to the compatibility issue with the build tools.

Answer 6

Go to the settings (settings): click "Build", "Run", "Deployment" ... then select "Instant start ..." and uncheck the "Topmost" (that is, "Disable instant start")

Answer 7

I solved this by removing "/.idea/libraries" from the project. thanks

Answer 8

Just solve the problem that comes from the Java compiler instead of the Build-Run task

Answer 9

I'm not sure if this solution works for you or not, but I just want to tell you about compatibility issues between compiler versions and build tools.

This may be due to a mismatch between the Java and Gradle versions.

 distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip 

Gradle 4.4 is only compatible with Java 7 and 8. So, point your global variable JAVA_HOME to Java 7 or 8.

On Mac, add the line below to your ~ / .bash_profile

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_191.jdk/Contents/Home

You can have several versions of Java. Just change the JAVA_HOME path as needed. You can do it easily, check it out.

Answer 10

This problem is usually related to compiler errors in Java code. Sometimes Android Studio does not show these errors in Project explorer . However, errors are displayed when opening the problematic .java file. Try to fix the errors and rebuild the project.
