react-native-webview: Android Studio cannot find symbol class RNCWebViewPackage

Totally i think they should add a manual installation in doc’s because sometime link command doesn’t work properly

in build.gradle of react-native-webview, update code.

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-annotations:28.0.0'
    implementation 'com.facebook.react:react-native:+'
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
}

i resolve this by adding implementation 'com.android.support:support-annotations:28.0.0' in build.gradle of react-native-webview

Not to mention the doc seems a bit snarky about how you must have forgotten to run link when the same errors happen when link fails 👎

Error is the one described in the issue Cannot resolve symbol RNCWebViewPackage

on import com.reactnativecommunity.webview.RNCWebViewPackage; (MainApplication.java)

This is coming soon guys, sorry about the current state of the repo, I’m trying 😍

@aschenkel add compile project(':react-native-webview') to your app/build.gradle and also add

include ':react-native-webview'
project(':react-native-webview').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-webview/android')

to your settings.gradle

in build.gradle of react-native-webview, update code.

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-annotations:28.0.0'
    implementation 'com.facebook.react:react-native:+'
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
}

This is an okay fix but I think its not acceptable because now every developer needs to add the support-annotations dependency to this projects build.gradle file inside node_modules. Thats a whole lotta of unnecessary copy and paste, especially when you have to delete node_modules and run “npm i” again.

Maybe there should be a note somewhere reminding developers not to forget to add implementation ‘com.android.support:support-annotations:28.0.0’ inside “./node_modules/react-native-webview/build.gradle”

@AE0011 @charliewynn thanks!

compile project(':react-native-webview') was missing in my app/build.gradle

For some reason react-native-link was not doing it, but it was writing correctly on settings.gradle

A manual installation in doc’s would be useful

Should your build.gradle have project(':react-native-webview') in its dependencies?

Great, thank you so much.

Will come back to you soon after using the new version.
