Android build issue (androidx.core.v4.content does not exist)

[cemeai]

When I try compiling for android getting an error for a library does not exists. Could it be a version error? maybe something i need to make sure i have enabled? I honestly not sure if you need more infotmation to know what is going on so let me know

Here is the error i get

./gradlew build

Did you do this (from readme file)?

open (Project)/android/build/gradle.properties file and add the following line

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

I missed that but then did and got a different error

Task :compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED /Users/cesar.amaro/Documents/godot-3.1/platform/android/java/src/org/godotengine/godot/Godot.java:65: error: package android.support.v4.content does not exist import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat;

so first it was androidx and now android.support

maybe i need to enable something else?

What Godot version are you compiling?

[cemeai]

3.1

I don't use this module anymore, I've migrate to the plugin system in 3.2. I can't say if 3.1 is compatible with Android X. One thing you can try is to use a version of this module before the Android X support was added. You can checkout this commit 266e07086b965aea80ca1d6f059490c62dc945fd
