FATAL EXCEPTION: main java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.support.v7.internal.widget.TintManager

Question

I'm getting an error when I'm running my project. I was just following this tutorial and used it in my project.

my code which is exactly alike in the tutorial

public class MainEventActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private Toolbar toolbar;
private TabLayout tabLayout;
private ViewPager viewPager;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main_event_activity);

    toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

    viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
    setupViewPager(viewPager);

    tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
    tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
}

private void setupViewPager(ViewPager viewPager) {
    ViewPagerAdapter adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
    adapter.addFragment(new OneFragment(), "ONE");
    adapter.addFragment(new TwoFragment(), "TWO");
    adapter.addFragment(new ThreeFragment(), "THREE");
    viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
}

class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
    private final List<Fragment> mFragmentList = new ArrayList<>();
    private final List<String> mFragmentTitleList = new ArrayList<>();

    public ViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager manager) {
        super(manager);
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        return mFragmentList.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return mFragmentList.size();
    }

    public void addFragment(Fragment fragment, String title) {
        mFragmentList.add(fragment);
        mFragmentTitleList.add(title);
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        return mFragmentTitleList.get(position);
    }
}

Im calling the MainEventActivity like this :

btnNext.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MainEventActivity.class);
                startActivity(i);
                finish();
            }
        });

my error log:

error in this line:

Answer 1

All the support libraries have to be the same version. Try changing either appcompat-v7 and support-v4 to 23.0.1 or design to 23.1.1

Answer 2

If you download higher version of support library, gradle uses upper version silently even if you defined as 23.1.1.

You can check gradlew app:dependencies -q whether correct version is used or not.

To fix its upper version handover, set force = true to all of support libraries as below.

compile ('com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'){
    force = true;
}
compile ('com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'){
    force = true;
}
compile ('com.android.support:design:23.1.1'){
    force = true;
}
compile ('com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.1.1'){
    force = true;
}
compile ('com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.1.1'){
    force = true;
}

Answer 3

I fixed a similar issue by changing my dependence from:

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'

to

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.+'

My units at the end were in this way:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.+'

Answer 4

I think that is because the lib "compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library-aaa:1.0.0' " used in your gradle including the different version of 'com.android.support::' as define in your gradle.

so you should do it like:

compile ('com.mcxiaoke.volley:library-aaa:1.0.0') {
    transitive = false
}

Answer 5

I solved this issues by adding compile 'com.android.support:design:23.+' though my supporting dependencies are similar

Before

   compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
   compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1' 
   compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'

After - this works for me

   compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
   compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1' 
   compile 'com.android.support:design:23.+'
