ViewCompat$OnUnhandledKeyEventListener on setContentView

Question

the error is triggered by the command:

setContentView(R.layout.activity_item_list);

this code was generated by android studio , when creating a new android project using the "master/slave flow"

it seems the layout was rendered but still the errors appear

as mentioned, the code is generated automatically by Android Studio 3.2.1 and selecting "Master/Detail Flow" type of Activity

Answer 1

1. I stumbled on a github snippet that does the trick

you should paste the following to the bottom of your project's - build.gradle

// This is to fix the errors : java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Landroid/view/View$OnUnhandledKeyEventListener;
configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
        def requested = details.requested
        if (requested.group == "com.android.support") {
            if (!requested.name.startsWith("multidex")) {
                details.useVersion "26.+"
            }
        }
    }
}

2. i ended up using the suggestion in the URL below (instead of 1) -
