Problems migrating from Cap 4 -> 5

henryschultz · May 22, 2023, 8:04pm

Following the migration guide:

We run into two problems:

First, we are unable to finish building because of duplicate classes:

Go to the documentation to learn how to Fix dependency resolution errors.

If we re-enable andorid.enableJetifier=true then we get past the duplicate classes error and can finish building but then we get a runtime error of:

If you check the res/values/styles.xml file, what’s the parent attribute of AppTheme.NoActionBar?

It should be parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar"

henryschultz · May 23, 2023, 5:52pm

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->

Does your MainActivity.java extends BridgeActivity?
public class MainActivity extends BridgeActivity {}

does your Activity have that theme set in the AndroidManifest.xml?

I copied the MainAcitivity form a fresh Ionic project:

package com.tigoenergy.smart;

import com.getcapacitor.BridgeActivity;

public class MainActivity extends BridgeActivity {}

This was our old one that also had issues:

package com.tigoenergy.smart;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;

import com.getcapacitor.BridgeActivity;
import com.getcapacitor.Plugin;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class MainActivity extends BridgeActivity {
//   @Override
//   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
//       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//
//       
//       
//       // ATTENTION: This was auto-generated to handle app links.
//       Intent appLinkIntent = getIntent();
//       String appLinkAction = appLinkIntent.getAction();
//       Uri appLinkData = appLinkIntent.getData();
//   }
}

Both have the same issue

AndoridManifest:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

        <activity android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|locale|smallestScreenSize|screenLayout|uiMode"

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" />

</manifest>

Yes it does have that same theme set. I’ve been copying to/from a fresh Ionic project that works on Capacitor 5, although it does throw errors once launched but doesnt crash.

carstenbaumhoegger · October 9, 2023, 10:15am

hey @henryschultz & @julio-ionic ,
I run into the same problems when upgrading from Capacitor 4 to 5.

I’ve checked the theme and the MainActivity, but I can’t find issues there.

Are there other possible solutions to this?

josuelmm · March 11, 2024, 4:51pm

In gradle.properties put

android.enableJetifier=true
