Cannot resolve symbol SystemService - android

I am new to Android development, and was wondering why a library like AudioManager (android.media.AudioManager) can be used, but when I try to navigate to the code of AudioManager, half the source code is red.
For example, it says,
cannot resolve symbol SystemService"
Do I need to add some kind of dependency somewhere?
This means that when I debug through AudioManager, the bytecode does not match what appears on the screen and the debug is useless.
I've tried looking at other posts and changing my SDK version to 27 and my minimum version up to 23.
Thanks in advance.

This seems to be an IDE error, typically when I am getting build errors caused by this, Invalidate Caches and Restart will fix this. You can find it by searching in the help menu or under File in Android Studio

You could try below points as it worked-out for it :
Exit Android Studio
Back up your project
Delete all the .iml files and the .idea folder
Relaunch Android Studio and reimport your project
By the way, the error messages you see in the Project Structure dialog are bogus for the most part.

try to update your Android studio, they always working for something like this. I recommend AS 3.3

Thanks to all for trying to answer. I found the answer to my question here: The import android.os.ServiceManager cannot be resolved.
Explanation:
Apparently the reason AudioManager had so many reds is because it depends on many "hidden" classes, that are purposely excluded from the .jar libraries. The #hide in https://github.com/commaai/android_frameworks_base/blob/master/media/java/android/media/IAudioService.aidl is one example.

Unsupported kotlin version

My gradle build completes successfully, but I get:
WARNING: Unsupported Kotlin plugin version.
The `embedded-kotlin` and `kotlin-dsl` plugins rely on features of Kotlin `1.5.31` that
might work differently than in the requested version `1.6.10`.
All of my build.gradle.kts scripts refer to using version 1.5.31. The only association my project has with version 1.6.10 is that Android Studio has the Kotlin version 1.6.10 plugin added. If I try to disable that plugin, I get a message that several other plugins will be disabled. If I accept that, android studio crashes and will not start up again. It won't start up again even if you reinstall android studio again. The solution is to find the file named "disabled-plugins.txt" and delete that file. It's in your AppData folder and in a JetBrains subdirectory. It turns out that it's one or more of those other disabled plugins that prevents Android Studio from starting up again.
The question I have is how do I fix this version mismatch issue. I can't delete the plugin from Android Studio for the reasons I mentioned above. If I try to update my project to using version 1.6.10 I get literally 100's of unresolved dependencies. And it seems from opinionated investigation that 1.6.10 still have too many issues for general use.
By the way, when I look at the gradle window for the project I can see where the dependencies come from. Usually when I look at the gradle window I just see sub project folders that I can drill into for more information, but for this project, it has an additional folder name dependencies. I don't know how they get into my project. But when I look at their version numbers that's where the 1.6.10 mismatch happens.
So, I think I understand why the warning message is valid, I'm at a lost on what I need to do to correct this situation. For the moment, I'm just ignoring the warning, and so far I'm not finding any issues in proceeding that way. But that's means I'm proceeding, without an understanding of what's going on here! Sometimes that's okay and at other times that's a bad judgment The error message itself seems inverted. I would think that 1.6.10 is the embedded kotlin and kotlin-dsl since it an android studio plugin, but the error message seems to say it in the opposite way. So anyway, if someone can bring some clarity as to what's going on, and how I'm thinking wrongly about this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I'll accept the following as the answer to what's going on about the unsupported kotlin version:
https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/13020
So, for the moment, I'll go on like this is just a nuisance warning and ignore that.
What I just did was to re-create my Android Studio from a blank brand new project. I copied and pasted stuff from the previous project into the new project. I copied the source and build.script.kts files, so essentially everything is a copy of the disabandoned project. This new project didn't give me the WARNING message anymore. And in additional, I'm now able to upgrade my project to using kotlin 1.6.10, which I previously couldn't do because of the literally 100's of dependencies resolution issues. Whatever, that issue went away, and a lot of others things started working as expected once I recreated the project. I can't say what got my project into that weird state. Deleting the .gradle and .idea folders, wouldn't fix the problem. I didn't try deleting the JetBrains cache, I wish I would have tried that.

Importing and using a library in android studio

I am using android studio to import this project called https://github.com/Pixate/pixate-freestyle-android. However when I import it into android studio the folder under samples, freestyleshowcase doesnt seem to build. The other 2 samples buld correctly. There is a red circle around the java file with a J (error) but there is no error in the file itself. COuld someone please help me out?
You are obviously missing some libraries but it is going to be hard for anyone to tell you which since we do not know the libraries the project needs.You can try Build-->Rebuild Project or Build-->Clean Peoject if it still doesn't work, close and open Android Studio.
If that doesn't work also then you have to go the hard way of identifying the libraries need by the project samples you imported and see if you have them.
When in doubt, you can try the Library Dependency option (using Maven) as demonstrated here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BUcx9gGQ3o
That way, you won't have to manually edit the build.gradle file.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError with external jars in Android project

I've been searching the internet for two days now, and I feel like I've tried everything.
Please let me know if any code snippets might be helpful in finding a solution.
I've created an android application with the standard login activity. In the doInBackground()-method, I invoke a static method from another external class. Since this method will be invoked once the submit button is clicked, the error occurs during runtime. The class is included in my file, and there are no compilation errors. Whenever I tap/click on the Submit-button, I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError referring to a class (in my external jar) that is used and properly included in my external file I refer to in the doInBackground()-method.
All my external libraries are in the 'libs'-folder. I've tried adding them to the build path manually instead and checking the boxes next to them in the 'order and export'-tab instead of the checkbox next to the 'Android Private Libraries' entry. I've tried putting the 'gen'-directory above the 'src'-directory, which didn't change anything either. Restarting eclipse, reimporting the project as a whole, playing around with the order of the external libraries in the build path, fixing project properties and cleaning the project over and over, nothing helped. I've checked this
http://javarevisited.blogspot.de/2011/06/noclassdeffounderror-exception-in.html
and tried every solution, but none of them worked for me. I ad a similar problem with a library before, and I could solve it by changing some build path settings and restarting Eclipse. However, this just doesn't work for me any more. I hope anybody has another solution or an idea, I have no clue what's wrong...
Thank you all in advance!
Yeehaw
Edit:
Despite creating a whole new project and adding my previous files to this new project, I still had the same problem in the new project. I think I figured out where this error came from: When I added my external library, I still had dependencies from the just added .jar to other jars. After adding those as well, the compiler said I needed the java.rmi.Remote class, which is in Java's JRE system library (rt.jar). Adding the whole jre library to my project made the compiler error disappear, the runtime error, however, still persisted.
After some more research I found out that my external library is probably not compatible with the android runtime environment, which means that the jar's .class-files don't have an equivalent .dex-representation which is neededfor the Dalvik virtualmachine on android powered devices. For many java jar's, especially those designed for use with the android platform, those problems don't occur.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this explanation seemed pretty plausible to me. Too bad, since this is the only way to currently access our database programmatically.
Make sure you've updated to the latest version of ADT Eclipse plugin and SDK Tools and also make sure "Android Dependencies" is checked in your project properties.

What can I do with R cannot be resolved problem?

If I make a new Android project in Ecplipse and I try, to open one of the samples from android SDK, I have got an error, look like this:
R cannot be resolved
What can I do, to be able, to run these files? I tried to delete import android.R; but nothing changed.
Thanks
First thing you might try is "clean" your project (option in the menu). If it persists:
There should be an error that stops R from being generated. Check the "problems" tab (?) in eclipse to see what that problem is, and solve that. It could be missing libs, or various other stuff.
You possibly got error in building resources.
Possible fixes:
-refresh your project (F5)
-clean you project and refresh
-see "Console" tab, sometimes the problem is shown there
-reload the Android SDK
-restart the Eclipse IDE
Check your XML-Layout files. The problem come here half a time.
If you are sure it is note your layout file, check in your java build path if the google librarys are well set. (Google APIs)
(sorry for my bad english)

Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1 with javax/net/SocketFactory.class

Encounter this problem when trying to Build Project getting such output in console:
[2010-07-19 23:29:23 - myProject]
trouble processing "javax/net/SocketFactory.class":
[2010-07-19 23:29:23 - myProject]
Attempt to include a core VM class in something other than a core library.
It is likely that you have attempted to include the core library from a desktop
virtual machine into an application, which will most assuredly not work. If
you really intend to build a core library -- which is only appropriate as
part of creating a full virtual machine binary, as opposed to compiling an
application -- then use the "--core-library" option to suppress this error
message. If you go ahead and use "--core-library" but are in fact building
an application, then please be aware that your build will still fail at some
point; you will simply be denied the pleasure of reading this helpful error
message.
[2010-07-19 23:29:23 - myProject] 1 error; aborting
[2010-07-19 23:29:23 - myProject] Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1
I was looking for my project to use the package javax, not found, clean all also does not help. what I am doing wrong?
Update
Sorry guys, but I could not find good fix for that, I want to emphasize the fact, that i dont use SocketFactory class in my project at all! source code was not changed before this problem, and that's why i think that problem in eclipse or adt or something else, BUT if i use ant(generated by sdk) to build this project there is no problem!!!
I solve this problem by removing Eclipse, Android SDK, Eclipse workspace, and just reinstall them, after this all works fine for now.
Hope this will help someone.
I had the same problem..
This worked for me
project-->properties->java build path->libraries-> remove all including android jars
now go the project browser, right click on the project you are working on,
then android tools---> fix project properties...
do a clean and then build...
I solved the problem (at least for me).
Here's what I did:
Go to Project » Properties » Java Build Path » Libraries
Remove all except the "Android X.Y" click OK.
Go to Project » Clean » Clean projects selected below » select your project and click OK.
That did the trick for me.
Hope it works for you as well
Update: well actually I might have to retract my opinion.. the actions removed the error messages but now I am missing certain classes and methods... arggghhhh
I just restarted Eclipse, and the error didn't appear anymore!
I had the same problem,and solved it as follows:
First clean all jars; (This problem must because your some jars)
Delete the project;
Reimport project;
Make sure your sdk is right, and project select one sdk version;
(This is my issue to solve the problem) Right click your project, and select "build-path", next select "add Librarys", and add your private jars;
clean-build, the problem has fixed;
I just had the same problem and I tried all of the solutions listed here with no success (I was starting to get annoyed). Then I removed the project from the workspace and then imported it again, and there were no problems!
This happened to me this way,
I have a quite an old project which I had to start working again today. I use 'Universal Image Downloader' library for basically every project where I have to deal with lots of images. So in this old project I had the source files of 'Universal Image Downloader' included to it's 'src' path. Back then I was a newbie and slowly I started developing my own library which could handle every day simple Android development tasks very easily. Obviously I included the 'Universal Image Downloader' to this.
After dusting off the old project today the first thing I did was to reference my library to speed up the development process but as I was trying to debug I ran into the "Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1" over and over again. First I thought it was the support library but even after clearing all libraries and adding only mine and doing a quick 'Fix project properties' I still got it. After trying various solutions I noticed this in the console "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: already added: Lcom/nostra13/universalimageloader/cache/disc/BaseDiscCache;"
It was as simple as that... I'm trying to compile a class which has already been compiled.
Solution : I just simply removed all the class files I got from 'Universal Image Downloader' library from the 'src' directory. Since my library references "Universal Image Downloader" library the old project started working just fine.
Hit same problem shown on your log when trying to run an example project which was imported into eclipse.
Additional Info: in eclipse's Problems View I see the following error:
"The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved"
In my case the imported project find the libraries just right(by just right I mean I can see the external path to each of the android libs in this case 2 libs, android.jar and maps.jar). So no shuffling of libs in my case, but might be your problem.
I followed Spock's suggestion of cleaning the project which I had to clean multiple times until it somehow resolve its issues. After, issue was solved I had to specify an AVD for the project to run and soon after was up and running on the emulator. Also, note that my eclipse is set up to Build Automatically.
In my case I'm not missing any class files or anything after the clean as the build is properly generating them.
Regards!
I was getting the same error. My problem was that i had an android device hooked up to debug with. As soon as I unplugged it I was able to export.
The answer I found was checking the source and library build path in the project's properties. Most likely there will be a duplicate as in something being referenced in both the source and library tabs. So delete the extra in the source tab and then clean the project and you should be good to go.
Either:
javax.net.SocketLibrary is in your source code, or
javax.net.SocketLibrary is included in a JAR file in your project
Under certain conditions it gets its knickers in a twist and the best fix I've found is to remove referenced jars, clean, add them back in and then compile again.
I believe the error can be caused by including the same classes twice.
This error will also occur (and you won't be able to get rid of it by cleaning) when using classes that are not part of the Android environment.
To summarise the information in the link bimbim.in provided (well my understanding when I glanced over it)
The Android Davik VM tries to compile the jars but finds some stuff that it can't compile to .dex files
so
Just create a "lib" directory in the root of the project (where the src, bin res directories are) and add them to the build path. Project Properties... Java Build Path... Libraries.. Add JARs..
I could resolve this issue by creating a new project, looks like the some project settings were creating this issue and could not really find the root cause for that. But, dumping the existing source code onto the new project resovled this issue. If anyone has found the root cause for this problem pls do let me know.
I had the same problem and solved it as follows:
- Go to Project/Properties/Java Build Path/Libraries and remove all JARs except Android
- Do a project clean
- Add the JARs again as External JARs (first time I added them internally, so that might be the problem)
After that the error was gone.
I solved the problem by updating available packages in the Android SDK et AVD manager. No need to remove Eclipse.
Whenever the Project is having the ambitious data. This problem is caused. May be android can't able to find which one choose.
From what I understand, this same cryptic error could be caused from a wide variety of reasons. I've got "Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1" error too. In my case the problem was that for some reason Project -> Properties -> Java Compiler was not set to "Enable project specific settings" with proper Java 1.5 settings, but was left to defaults instead (1.6 in my case). Debug, build and test on devices/emulators worked fine, but export always failed with the above error message.
If unsure about the proper settings, create the same project on some alternative location and just copy all needed files from the old project into the new one. This fixed the issue for me.
The next problem with the same error message came from using proguard. Updating to the latest version by replacing the one that came with android sdk, fixed that.
Hope this helps
My problem was having a jar file in my src folder. Removing jars from the build path works, but only if you don't need the jar in question. For people who need the jar in question, make sure that your jar file is not in the project folder (maybe just src subtree, but I would keep it separate to test). Put it on your desktop or something and try the "Add external jar.." option. Be sure to remove the jar from the project filesystem before adding another external. Having both is what causes the problem.
I have done it as the instruction of the first answer and it works.(Linux)
I think the problem may caused by SDK or ADT updates.
I do have to clear all the lib in Java Building path and then use android tools to fix the project. After cleaning and rebuild, it works as before.
