Question

Suddenly i got an error in the execution of the app. I know that this qustion was already asked here: Annotation processors must be explicitly declared now

However the solution don't answer the problem :(

this is my build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

    mavenCentral()

Anyone knows how can this error be solved. I search in google without success.

This is the error that recieve

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:javaPreCompileDebug'.
> Annotation processors must be explicitly declared now.  The following dependencies on the compile classpath are found to contain annotation processor.  Please add them to the annotationProcessor configuration.
    - log4j-core-2.8.jar (org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core:2.8)
  Alternatively, set android.defaultConfig.javaCompileOptions.annotationProcessorOptions.includeCompileClasspath = true to continue with previous behavior.  Note that this option is deprecated and will be removed in the future.
  See https://developer.android.com/r/tools/annotation-processor-error-message.html for more details.

Answer 1

That user's error said this annotation processor was missing auto-value-1.1.jar (com.google.auto.value:auto-value:1.1), and the answer was to add:

annotationProcessor 'com.google.auto.value:auto-value:1.1'

Your error says log4j-core-2.8.jar (org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core:2.8) so you thought the answer was to add this?

annotationProcessor 'com.google.auto.value:auto-value:1.1'

You've copied it verbatim! Of course it won't work! Change the annotation processor to the one you're actually using.

Cough cough cough annotationProcessor 'org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core:2.8'
