Build Failed

[shubham-srivastava-goku]

Hi there, I'm very new to React Native and I'm facing some issues in installing this lib. I have installed the library and then linked it. After running the command react-native run-android, I am getting this error :

Please help me to resolve it. Thanks in advance.

[shubham-srivastava-goku]

I have updated gradle version, changed sdk version in android\app\build.gradle and added maven dependencies in android\build.gradle

android\app\build.gradle

android { compileSdkVersion 27 <- buildToolsVersion "27.0.3" <-

defaultConfig { ....... targetSdkVersion 27 <-

dependencies { .......... compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.2' <- compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.0.2' <- }

android\build.gradle allprojects { repositories { ............ maven { url "http://dl.bintray.com/lukaville/maven" } } }

Now the build is successful but app is crashing when I am adding file selector code. I don't know the root cause.

Thanks @shubham-srivastava-goku for raising the issue. Have you configured below step:

• Add below color attributes in your app res/color.xml. You can provide your own color codes #3F51B5 #303F9F #FF4081

Thanks </ Pranav >

[shubham-srivastava-goku]

@prscX , from where I can get this xml file. There should be a predefined file for this project I guess.

@shubham-srivastava-goku: Basically in your android app, you need to create a resource file res/color.xml if it does not exist. Please refer example app for the same.

Please let me know in case you still face the same issue.

Thanks </ Pranav >

Found my solution here https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-svg/issues/584

had to change this line in the file $myProject/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip I was using gradle 2.x for whatever reason by default

Other tips for others having build issues: read through the config files (at least build.gradle and app/build.gradle) in the Example folder in the root of this repo

@jtara1 , hi, I've updated gradle version. Now the app is building but now the runtime error is coming and app is crashing.

Are you getting any errors after updating gradle version.

[jtara1]

@shubham-srivastava-goku I wasn't getting any runtime errors, but the entire app just crashed when I called RNFileSelector.Show using the example usage code. I'm guessing my issue here was that I'm using android 5.1, but this requires android API 27+ (?).

I was having the same problem with another lib, react-native-document-picker or was it file picker? I haven't tried newer versions of android, but one claimed supp for android 1.0+ :/

[ronastlelobo]

Same error here.

[shubham-srivastava-goku]

@ronastlelobo use react-native-document-picker. It is working fine for me.

[ronastlelobo]

I am using react-native-document-picker itself. But I am unable to get the absolute path of the file. I am getting "content://com.android.........../document./....", my expectation is "filepath://SDCARD/documents/.......". So I was testing out this library.

[shubham-srivastava-goku]

@ronastlelobo you got any solutions ?

[ronastlelobo]

@shubham-srivastava-goku follow this link Solution and follow my first comment in this link of how i used it Usage Example
