Android Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException

Question

I got an error message just like in the title but there is no context to it its just Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException how am I supposed to know what to fix if I don't know what caused it. The code is here: https://bitbucket.org/Hellscythe94/meet-up/src/master/

The error showed when I added this line to the Login Fragment: alertDialog.show();

But it doesn't work even after I comment it...

Please help I'm just starting with android.

OK I made a new blank project and just added the dependencies and tried to build it but got the same problem.

This is my project/build.gradle
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {

    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'


        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

and this is my project/app/build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
    defaultConfig {
        multiDexEnabled true
        applicationId "com.example.michalwolowiec.meetup"

}
apply

So now can someone tell what am I doing wrong ?

Answer 1

Delete this from your gradle:

  compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  }

and add the configurations.all in your gradle:

configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
    def requested = details.requested
    if (requested.group == 'com.android.support') {
        if (!requested.name.startsWith("multidex")) {
            details.useVersion '28.0.0'
        }
    }
}
}
