Android studio: cannot access MenuHost class file for androidx.core.view.MenuHost not found

I've got an error while building my project. This is my error message: cannot access MenuHost
class file for androidx.core.view.MenuHost not found.
I didn't find any solution for this problem. I would be very happy if you could help me.
I've got this error for an empty Activity:
import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
public class CallActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

task clean(type: Delete) {

Had the same problem. Fixed the issue by removing this lines:
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.core:core:1.6.0' }
}
under defaultConfig of build.gradle(:app)
I also do not know the source/reason behind the error as well.

In the build.gradle i changed this:
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.core:core:1.6.0' }
}
to this:
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.core:core:1.7.0' }
}
and this worked for me.

MenuHost was added in androidx.core:core:1.7.0 and above.
https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/core#1.7.0-alpha02
Just upgrade your dependencies.

Just add in you dependencies:
implementation 'androidx.core:core:{latest version}' // 1.7.0 or above

I had exact same situation - changing "extends AppCompatActivity" to "extends Activity" fixed the issue.
Edit: I don't know the source/reason behind that error, sadly...

For me it worked when I manually cast it to MenuHost:
private lateinit var menuHost: MenuHost
override fun onAttach(context: Context) {
super.onAttach(context)
menuHost = (requireActivity() as MenuHost)
}
If this does not work, manually specifying the module you want to use should fix it. In the project build.gradle file you have to add this:
allprojects {
...
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
dependencySubstitution {
substitute module("androidx.activity:activity:1.0.0") using module("androidx.activity:activity:$libVersions.activity")
substitute module("androidx.fragment:fragment:1.1.0") using module("androidx.fragment:fragment:$libVersions.fragment")
substitute module("androidx.core:core:1.2.0") using module("androidx.core:core:$libVersions.core")
substitute module("androidx.core:core-ktx:1.2.0") using module("androidx.core:core-ktx:$libVersions.core")
}
}
}
}
(Double check what version you have in your project that affects you, in my case I noticed 1.00 for activity, 1.1.0 for fragment and 1.2.0 for core - they could be different in your case, you need to check the list of dependencies of your project)
And you can use it directly as:
private lateinit var menuHost: MenuHost
override fun onAttach(context: Context) {
super.onAttach(context)
menuHost = requireActivity()
}

Dagger generating duplicate `XXXDialogFragment_MembersInjector` classes in Android app (Program type already present)

I have a BaseDialogFragment that uses dependency injection with Dagger, and then I have two different modules that subclass the BaseDialogFragment.
When attempting to build I'm getting the following error:
> Task :app:transformClassesWithDexBuilderForDevelopmentDebug
AGPBI: {"kind":"error","text":"Program type already present: BaseDialogFragment_MembersInjector","sources":[{}],"tool":"D8"}
> Task :app:transformDexArchiveWithDexMergerForDevelopmentDebug FAILED
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Error while merging dex archives:
I've searched my project and it appears that there are only two different BaseDialogFragment_MembersInjector classes being generated: one in each respective module.
I have already:
Cleaned the project
Deleted the generated duplicate class
Invalidated caches and restarted
Updated Dagger version
Ensured that multidexEnabled is set to true
Added unnecessary #inject field on base class per recommendation found here

I've also taken a look at this issue here — not sure if it's related, but it sounds similar.
Can anyone tell me what's going on here? Thanks for the help.

You have your BaseDialogFragment_MembersInjector generated multiple times actually, for each of your sub-modules, as described. And there is a collision while assembling the topmost :app module. Clean or delete build/ directories and recreating them won't help actually.
What you should do is to extend your BaseDialogFragment, say, making SimpleBaseDialogFragment extends BaseDialogFragment in :base module (near BaseDialogFragment).
Then you must add some dummy #Inject-annotated field to it (to force Dagger to generate single _MembersInjector in :base rather than in sub-modules).
And then extend any further dialog-fragments from that SimpleBaseDialogFragment, then clear and rebuild project.
For example (in Kotlin):
class DummyInjectableField #Inject constructor() {}
class SimpleBaseDialogFragment : BaseDialogFragment() {
#Inject lateinit var dummy: DummyInjectableField
}
This is just a workaround, and this helped in my case.
Please, see explanation here: https://github.com/google/dagger/issues/955

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method - Firebase issue despite not using FirebaseMessagingService?

So I'm using Firebase to get my app analytics but my users have been reporting crashes which I couldn't re-create (the crash) in any of my test devices.
I wrote a bug reporting library within my app which would send me the verbose logs via email and found out the main cause.
Surprisingly, I am not even using FirebaseMessagingService in my app so would like to know if someone can help me out here? Tried searching for the solution but couldn't find it so creating a thread here.
Here's the log:

Thanks in advance!

This is likely to be caused by a conflict of different versions of library dependencies between the compiled and runtime version of your library/app. It could be that one of your other dependencies depends on an older version of FCM or other libraries. Basically, your project is probably depending on different versions of a same library.
As Martin mentioned in his answer, remove the version check and the exact conflict should be shown in the log if you compile again, then you can resolve it very easily.

remove this line (it causes more problems than it would solve - it only hides the problems):
com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true
the dependencies should look alike this (ads and gcm are now below com.google.firebase):
// Google Services
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.1.0"
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.1"
// implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:17.2.0"
// Firebase
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.8"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.5.0"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:17.2.0"
of course, this would also require name-space changes in code, as well as migrating from GCM to FCM, but this migration would definitely be sooner or later be due, to to GCM being shut down.

I updated the "distributionUrl in my "gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties" file to match the current gradle version.
I also updated the classpath in my top level build.gradle file to match the gradle API level.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
}
}
Re-synced and then it built OK.

Because you have incorrect block in your build.gradle. Looks like you're mixing top level build.gradle and module build.gradle. Your app module build.gradle should be something like this:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
defaultConfig {
...
}
buildTypes {
release {
...
}
}
..
}
dependencies {
...
}
please visit Configure your build for details.

Remove the space between version:
implementation "com.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler:$supportVersion"
Also, please move the dependencies block out of the android block:
android {
...
}
...
dependencies{
...
}
