Mapbox app crashes on android api 19

[mahdit83]

My app crashes when run on api 19 with this log:

  java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider com.mapbox.android.telemetry.provider.MapboxTelemetryInitProvider: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.mapbox.android.telemetry.provider.MapboxTelemetryInitProvider" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.mypackage.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app-lib/com.myapackage, /system/lib]]

Android API: 19
Mapbox Navigation SDK version: 8.1.0

Steps to trigger behavior

1. Compile and run app on avd or device.

Hey 👋 @mahdit83 thanks for reaching out and report your issue.

Noting that if you're using the Navigation UI SDK, you don't have to declare the Mapbox Maps SDK, it's included implicitly 👀

mapbox-navigation-android/libandroid-navigation-ui/build.gradle

Line 49 in 156e6a7

implementation dependenciesList.mapboxMapSdk

This is on purpose to avoid these kind of dependencies conflicts.

That being said, we’re always striving to upgrade to the latest versions of the different dependencies included in the SDK. This issue specifically is caused because the Events version included in Mapbox Maps SDK doesn't include the Navigation events 👀 mapbox/mapbox-events-android#383 - this was included in Events v4.5.0 and Events v4.5.1 landed in Maps v8.1.0 mapbox/mapbox-gl-native#14874 (any previous versions work 👌). We're tracking the work needed in the Navigation SDK side in #1890

There's a workaround that could be made in the meantime which is excluding the Events dependency from Maps SDK so that Events v4.4.1 from the Navigation SDK is used 👀

implementation('com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:8.1.0') {
  exclude group: 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk', module: 'mapbox-android-telemetry'
}

Closing as answered. Please feel free to cut a new ticket if you run into any other issues. Thanks again!

@Guardiola31337
I am trying your temp. solution which excludes the telemetry in gradle as below

implementation('com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:8.1.0') {
    exclude group: 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk', module: 'mapbox-android-telemetry'
}
implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-navigation-ui:0.40.0'

and it is still crashing with the same log unless i am use the navigation-sdk without ui parts, 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-navigation:0.40.0'.

Should I just wait and track the #1890 as well?

[mahdit83]

Hi @Guardiola31337. Thanks for response.
But i still have the same crash.

[Guardiola31337]

Hey @donlingliang and @mahdit83 👋 could you try with v0.41.0? #1890 landed solving the issue 🎉

Please feel free to cut a new ticket if you run into any other issues with the latest version. Thanks for bringing this to us!

[mahdit83]

@Guardiola31337 Hi,
I do not using navigation dependecies. These are my dependencies:

    mapBoxVersion = '8.1.0'
    mapBoxPlugginVersion = '0.5.0'

   implementation("com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:$mapBoxVersion") {
        exclude group: 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk', module: 'mapbox-android-telemetry'
    }
   implementation "com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-building-v7:$mapBoxPlugginVersion"

[Guardiola31337]

Hey @mahdit83 as indicated in the mapbox-plugins-android README https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-plugins-android#maps-sdk-compatibility

The Mapbox Plugins for Android are heavily dependent on the major semantic versioning number of the Maps SDK. They either won't compile or hide runtime bugs when paired with a different major version of the Maps SDK. Each plugin's dependency name has a vX suffix which states the major version of the Maps SDK that the plugin is compatible with. This suffix makes the transition between versions easier and more educated without the need to jump into changelogs and compare repositories.

As you're including Maps SDK v8.1.0 you should use mapbox-android-plugin-building-v8 instead.

In any case, if you are not using the Navigation SDK this is not the best place to report this question. Feel free to report any other issue in the mapbox-plugins-android repository. Thanks for understanding.

[langsmith]

Passing by to say that the v7 suffix for building plugin documentation is incorrect. As @Guardiola31337 says above, v8 is correct. The docs will be fixed when https://github.com/mapbox/android-docs/pull/1011 is merged.

Hi My app crashes too with this error: Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.mapbox.android.telemetry.provider.MapboxTelemetryInitProvider" on path: DexPathList
My build.gradle has these related dependencies:
implementation ('com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:mapbox-android-plugin-building-v8'){
exclude group: 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk', module: 'mapbox-android-telemetry'}

 implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-navigation:0.41.0'

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:17.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0'
implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-places-v9:0.11.0'

Any update?

[langsmith]

He @gkosmadakis , thanks for using Mapbox.

1. Completely uninstall your app from your device.

2. Invalidate your Android Studio cache and restart Android Studio. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/rider/Cleaning_System_Cache.html#clean-sys-caches. Sometimes this DexPathList issue can happen when dependencies have been added to Gradle files or the dependencies versions have been upgraded.

3. Try re-installing your app on your device.

[gkosmadakis]

Hey @langsmith
I did your steps, well now i get a different error
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate application androidx.multidex.MultiDexApplication: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "androidx.multidex.MultiDexApplication" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.example.smartorders-de0_rcZt8C3I14WcMba3RA==/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/com.example.smartorders-de0_rcZt8C3I14WcMba3RA==/lib/x86, /data/app/com.example.smartorders-de0_rcZt8C3I14WcMba3RA==/base.apk!/lib/x86, /system/lib, /vendor/lib]]
Strange because i had this error in the past and had fixed by adding multiDexEnabled true inside my defaultConfig of build.gradle. And now i have addded it also in my manifest file android:name="androidx.multidex.MultiDexApplication" and added it on my dependencies implementation 'androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1'
Any ideas?

[gkosmadakis]

@langsmith @Guardiola31337
I have created a new android project with only the PlacesPluginActivity and its content view xml.
My app level build.gradle has:

dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.1'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.2.0'
implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:9.1.0'
implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-places-v9:0.11.0'
}
If i comment the implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-places-v9:0.11.0' then the application starts and i see the map but if i include the implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-places-v9:0.11.0'
then it crashes with this error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider com.mapbox.android.telemetry.provider.MapboxTelemetryInitProvider: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.mapbox.android.telemetry.provider.MapboxTelemetryInitProvider" on path: DexPathList
If i try to add the {
exclude group: 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk', module: 'mapbox-android-telemetry'} to either the sdk or in the plugin-places-v9:0.11.0 dependencies then i get a different error: Caused by: org.gradle.internal.metaobject.AbstractDynamicObject$CustomMessageMissingMethodException: Could not find method com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:9.1.0() for arguments [build_dp2cwjg133dey8hrq8x6tp2tw$_run_closure2$_closure6@687f7d52] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.
Clearly there is something wrong with the plugin-places dependency. I need this dependency as i want to implement the global search location.
Please advise.

I created a new Java project in Android Studio and was able to install it on my physical device. I'm using

My Android Studio info:

I did have to add the following compileOptions block to my app-level build.gradle file:

compileOptions {

Here's my app-level build.gradle file:

}

[Zeeshan50522]

adding
android{
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility 1.8
targetCompatibility 1.8
}
}
in gradle
solve my problem
