Execution failed for task ':dash_bubble:compileDebugKotlin'

Question

Knowing that my android/build.gradle is:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '2.1.10'
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.3.2'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

rootProject.buildDir = '../build'
subprojects {
    afterEvaluate { project ->
        // check only for "com.android.library" to not modify
        // your "app" subproject. All plugins will have "com.android.library" plugin, and only your app "com.android.application"
        // Change your application's namespace in main build.gradle and in main android block.

        if (project.plugins.hasPlugin("com.android.library")) {
            project.android {
                if (namespace == null) {
                    namespace project.group
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
subprojects {
    project.buildDir = "${rootProject.buildDir}/${project.name}"
}
subprojects {
    project.evaluationDependsOn(':app')
}

tasks.register("clean", Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

When I run flutter run --debug to compile my APK (from Flutter App), I get:

Can anyone help me please ???

Answer 1

After some investigation, I found a solution to your issue.

The problem is not in your code but in the dash_bubble package, specifically in the BubbleService.kt file.

Error Details:

The error occurs in this path in the package:

file:///C:/Users/useru/AppData/Local/Pub/Cache/hosted/pub.dev/dash_bubble-2.0.0/android/src/main/kotlin/dev/moaz/dash_bubble/src/BubbleService.kt'.

The error message indicates that there is an unresolved reference to ic_close_bubble.

This typically means that the resource ic_close_bubble is missing or not properly referenced in your project.

And if you locate the res/drawable directory in the package you will not find any ic_close_bubble image

Steps to Fix the Issue:

1. In your project, navigate to the DEPENDENCIES section in VS Code (located in the bottom-left corner).

2. Open the file: android/src/main/kotlin/dev/moaz/dash_bubble/src/BubbleService.kt

3. Locate the Issue:

• The error is in lines 64:65:

   val closeIcon = Helpers.getDrawableId(
        applicationContext,
        bubbleOptions.closeIcon,     <------- the issue
        R.drawable.ic_close_bubble   <------- the issue
    )

• The issue that's because the resource ic_close_bubble is missing.

4. Replace the Missing Resource:

• Instead of using the closeIcon which is missed you will use the icon of the default_bubble_icon

       val closeIcon = Helpers.getDrawableId(
            applicationContext,
            bubbleOptions.bubbleIcon,       <------ Use the bubbleIcon
            R.drawable.default_bubble_icon  <------ Use the bubbleIcon
        )

• The bubbleIcon is defined in the following val:

       val bubbleIcon = Helpers.getDrawableId(
            applicationContext,
            bubbleOptions.bubbleIcon,
            R.drawable.default_bubble_icon
        )

then run:

flutter clear
flutter pub get

Not:

The initial icon of the close icon (ic_close_bubble) will be the same icon as the bubble icon (default_bubble_icon)
