Answer 1

It was resolved when I added the activity jetpack module to the gradle file

def activity_version = "1.2.2"

// Java language implementation
    implementation "androidx.activity:activity:$activity_version"
    // Kotlin
implementation "androidx.activity:activity-ktx:$activity_version"

I got rid of this error message by upgrading the appCompat library to the latest version from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0-rc01.
