import android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout;

[simonbarker]

Having difficulties getting my project to build on Android when using this plugin.

The forth line of the AdMob.java file has this line:

import android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout;

with an error on design saying cannot resolve symbol 'design' and a build error of error: package android.support.design.widget does not exist

I've added this line to my build.gradle file and it's made no difference. implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'

I'm having to use AndroidX due to another plugin but migrating using the migrate function in Android Studio doesn't help.

Any thoughts? Is this long term issue or just my mistake somewhere (I have a web dev and iOS Swift background so building Android projects is quite alien to me, hence using Ionic)

Thanks

I had the same issue after migrating to AndroidX. You would want to use new classes and artifacts. You can find mappings here.

That line you referred to in particular should be import androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout;

And in admob gradle implementation 'androidx.coordinatorlayout:coordinatorlayout:1.1.0'

[simonbarker]

Thanks for this, seems to have gotten me a step closer (and also helped me find the AdMob Gradle files - shift shift if my friend!)

Now I have 5 errors in from MainActivity.java file on build:

error: cannot access AppCompatActivity class file for androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity not found

error: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype

error: cannot find symbol variable super

error: cannot find symbol class AdMob

error: cannot find symbol variable this

[LeXXik]

Make sure you have proper dependencies in your gradle implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0'

[simonbarker]

Awesome, nearly there I think, now I just get the one error error: cannot find symbol class AdMob from the line the docs say to add in the mainActivity add(AdMob.class); // Add AdMob as a Capacitor Plugin

[LeXXik]

It also says to import it. Did you? import app.xplatform.capacitor.plugins.AdMob;

[simonbarker]

Whoops, missed that line. it now builds but dies immediately with errors around finding: android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout looks like it is still looking for the pre AndroidX package. I've tried running Migrate to AndroidX but that's doesn't seem to want to run/can't find anything.

Feel like you are slowly dragging my butt to the finish line 😀

[LeXXik]

You also need to change it in your XML. CTRL+SHIFT+F (in Android Studio) can help you. This and other class mappings are here.

For the one you have, you need to change android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout to androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout

[simonbarker]

Ah man, that's got it - thank you so much. I really had no idea there would be so much work to get this to compile for Android, think I might take a crash course in Android Development to work through these kinds of issues. On iOS it could not have been simpler!

You are a super hero, is there someway I can thank you? Amazon/iTunes/Google voucher? Toilet paper? (hopefully you get that COVID-19 reference, I'm not a weirdo!)

[LeXXik]

Glad it worked, you are welcome!

[mukeshsolanki]

Hey @rdlabo can you update the module to use AndroidX dependencies? i have to make these changes everytime I do a build and sync with android.

[AlexitoReyes54]

I did the hole process above and i could export my app but, when i install my app it fails

[shinesamuel1990]

wow working like a charm, you are a super hero @LeXXik

[shinesamuel90]

Open android folder in android stuido under the gradle scripts build.gradle(module.app)

[shoutershub]

@shinesamuel90 thanks for ur response, i have updated that, i still have the following error when i try to build.

package does not exists - android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout

[shinesamuel90]

change android to andridx //import android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout; import androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout; in AdMob class

[developerakkoo]

Added this -> import androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout; But still package Cordinator layout does not exist error I am also getting same issue

[maykon-oliveira]

I am facing the same problem. After do that https://github.com/rahadur/capacitor-admob/issues/35#issuecomment-603425302

before:

.../node_modules/capacitor-admob/android/src/main/java/app/xplatform/capacitor/plugins/AdMob.java:4: error: package android.support.design.widget does not exist
import android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout;

after:

.../node_modules/capacitor-admob/android/src/main/java/app/xplatform/capacitor/plugins/AdMob.java:4: error: package androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget does not exist
import androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout;

There's a npm to help update plugins to android X https://github.com/mikehardy/jetifier

npm install jetifier
npx jetify
npx cap sync android

[xErik]

I am using an Ionic bundle and and the App still crashed after following the steps above:.

1. Adding to build.gradle (capacitor-admob):

implementation 'androidx.coordinatorlayout:coordinatorlayout:1.1.0'

2. Replaced the CoordinatorLayout import in AdMob.java :

android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout

with

androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout

3. The App crashed on startup but this solved the issue:

npm install jetifier
npx jetify

Hope it helps.

[inspire22]

Were you able to get it to actually show ads? I spent quite awhile but couldn't get it working.
