react-native-fs: Android Build failing in RN 0.59.8
RNFS Version : 2.13.3
RN Version : 0.59.8
I recently upgraded RN version to 0.59.8 and react-native-run-android command fails
I am getting the below error message
/node_modules/react-native-fs/android/src/main/java/com/rnfs/RNFSManager.java:11: error: package android.support.annotation does not exist import android.support.annotation.Nullable; ^ /Users/udbhavgoyal/Desktop/codebase/fareye-react/node_modules/react-native-fs/android/src/main/java/com/rnfs/RNFSManager.java:624: error: cannot find symbol private void sendEvent(ReactContext reactContext, String eventName, @Nullable WritableMap params) { ^ symbol: class Nullable location: class RNFSManager Note: /Users/udbhavgoyal/Desktop/codebase/fareye-react/node_modules/react-native-fs/android/src/main/java/com/rnfs/RNFSManager.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.

Can we re-open this issue ? Upgrading to 0.59.9 didn’t help me at all …
After struggling like crazy all day long, I finally found a solution and unfortunately it is not the one provided in this issue.
Basically I started having this issue after the androidx update thing.
At first I was having issues found on the main repo like this one : https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/25294 It was due to an AndroidManifest.xml file not being fully complete. I had to add this : https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/25294#issuecomment-503021597
Then the react-native-fs thing pops up that led me here, after trying to downgrade / upgrade in every react-native version I decided to tackle the problem at the source : if the .NonNull symbol was not found, let’s find why but then this led to randomly trying package names till I found the .annotation prop which I found on the androidx package.
Then I removed the
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;L11 from RNFSManager.java file and replaced it with :import androidx.annotation.Nullable;(this symbol was not greyed out / red like the previous one).And then the error disappeared for the react-native-fs package but appeared on several other non-related packages which I managed to fix by doing the same thing.
Hope it helps someone.
EDIT :
Or simply delete all of the annotation found in your packages and it will works (delete the import NonNull/Nullable and where it is used (‘@\NonNull’ / ‘@\Nullable’)
i am facing an issue something like that but cann’t find solution .Can you help me out ?
@darsodango you need to remove both the imports and the annotation here : https://github.com/itinance/react-native-fs/blob/v2.13.3/android/src/main/java/com/rnfs/RNFSManager.java#L624 (delete both
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;and the@Nullable).If this doesn’t work then it’s a new issue so open a new one, copy past the full error and I’ll gladly try to help.
@maieonbrix I created a PR. Let me know if you’d like me to take it down so you can submit your own. https://github.com/itinance/react-native-fs/pull/691
FYI, I have the same problem with RN 0.59.8, then i upgrade to 0.59.9 ( they just released 7 hour ago at the time i wrote this post) and the error is gone.
