Unsupported method: AndroidProject.getPluginGeneration() while running project

Question

I'm trying to run my Project with Android Studio 2.2 but I get this error

Unsupported method: AndroidProject.getPluginGeneration(). The version of Gradle you connect to does not support that method. 

I am using ButterKnife 8.4.0

My app gradle.file:

buildscript {     repositories {         jcenter()     }     dependencies {         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0'         classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'     } } 

My module gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application' apply plugin: 'android-apt'  android {     compileSdkVersion 23     buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"      defaultConfig {         applicationId "xxx.xx"         minSdkVersion 10         targetSdkVersion 23         versionCode 1         versionName "1.0"     } }  dependencies {     compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.4.0'     apt 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.4.0' } 

Why does it not work and how do I solve it?

Answer 1

General Issue:-

It can occur because AS was checking availability of the Instant Run feature. The fixed is to disable Instant Run:

Windows & Linux:

File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Instant Run. 

Mac:

Android Studio -> Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Instant Run. 

Thanks to @pophus for mentioning this.

Use this Steps If you are using a butterknife:-

If you are using the new Jack compiler with version 2.2.0 or newer, you do not need the 'android-apt' plugin and can instead replace apt with annotationProcessor when declaring the compiler dependency.

That is, remove

classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8' 

from your main gradle file

And remove

apply plugin: 'android-apt' 

from your main module file

and replace

apt 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.4.0' 

with

annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.4.0'
