Error:Internal error: (java.lang.NoSuchMethodError) affecting all my projects

Question

m following The Nerd ranch guide to android development using Intellij and everything was smooth sailing until I came to the code challenge which required to use DateFormat instead of outputting a timestamp. I'm made my changes when I tried to compile I found my app crashed so I undo whatever changes I did to it to my last successful build but still my app crashed so I rebuilt the project and now I get this:

    Error:Internal error: (java.lang.NoSuchMethodError) com.google.common.io.Closeables.closeQuietly(Ljava/io/Closeable;)V

Now it is affecting all my previous projects that worked fine before, I tried to Invalidate the cache / restart and opening a new Emulator and copy pasting the code from the source and still I have the same problem and I still don't know what cause it.

Answer 1

Are you using IntelliJ 13.1.4? If so, this appears to be a bug in this version of the IDE. http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-127374

http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2014/06/intellij-idea-13-1-4-eap-135-1019-is-out/

Try downgrading to 13.1.3. http://confluence.jetbrains.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=54329349
