I am trying to connect fitbit with my app using chrome custom tabs. But I am getting following error.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method startActivity(Landroid/app/Activity;Landroid/content/Intent;Landroid/os/Bundle;)V in class Landroid/support/v4/app/ActivityCompat; or its super classes (declaration of 'android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat' appears in /data/data/com.life.myApp.app/files/instant-run/dex/slice-com.android.support-support-compat-25.0.1_a32c44837a06d33159cc113605aa7f1cb8d56675-classes.dex) at android.support.customtabs.CustomTabsIntent.launchUrl(CustomTabsIntent.java:200) at com.life.myApp.app.ThirdPartyLibrary.TrackersDevies.FitBitTracker.LoginFitTrackers.onActivityCreated(LoginFitTrackers.java:208) at android.app.Fragment.performActivityCreated(Fragment.java:2289) at android.app.FragmentManagerImpl.moveToState(FragmentManager.java:1008) at android.app.FragmentManagerImpl.moveToState(FragmentManager.java:1164) at android.app.BackStackRecord.run(BackStackRecord.java:793) at android.app.FragmentManagerImpl.execPendingActions(FragmentManager.java:1557) at android.app.FragmentManagerImpl$1.run(FragmentManager.java:488) at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:739) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:95) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:148) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:7223) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:1230) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:1120)

Here is my java code.

speedUpChromeTabs();
        weakReference = new WeakReference<Activity>(getActivity());

        CustomTabsClient.bindCustomTabsService(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), CUSTOM_TAB_PACKAGE_NAME, mCustomTabsServiceConnection);
        customTabsIntent = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder(mCustomTabsSession)
                .setToolbarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getActivity(), R.color.blue))
                .setShowTitle(true)
                .build();
     url = url + "?time=" + (new Date().getTime());
                customTabsIntent.launchUrl(getActivity(), Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"));

I have tried This, This, and This but no success so far.

Answer 1

I updated that code in my app and working perfectly.Because documentation says 23 version and it throws this error.

mCustomTabsServiceConnection = new CustomTabsServiceConnection() {
            @Override
            public void onCustomTabsServiceConnected(ComponentName componentName, CustomTabsClient customTabsClient) {
                mCustomTabsClient= customTabsClient;
                mCustomTabsClient.warmup(0L);
                mCustomTabsSession = mCustomTabsClient.newSession(null);
            }

            @Override
            public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
                mCustomTabsClient= null;
            }
        };

        CustomTabsClient.bindCustomTabsService(getActivity(), CUSTOM_TAB_PACKAGE_NAME, mCustomTabsServiceConnection);

        mCustomTabsIntent = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder(mCustomTabsSession)
                .setShowTitle(true)
                .build();

and changed in gradle file also

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion '25.0.1'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.MyApp.app"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 25
        multiDexEnabled true
    }

 compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:25.1.0'

    compile 'com.android.support:customtabs:25.1.0+'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:25.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.1.0'
