what is a dependency for android.media.tv

I try to move android TV app to Android studio. When I try to compile it, I had some import errors. I couldn't find the dependency that I can add to build.gradle to fix these problem. The list of the imports are:
import android.media.tv.TvContentRatingSystemInfo;
import android.media.tv.TvContract.WatchedPrograms;
import com.android.tv.tuner.data.nano.Track.AtscCaptionTrack;
import com.android.tv.tuner.data.nano.Track.AtscAudioTrack;
import com.android.tv.tuner.data.nano.Channel;
The build.gradle is :
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.android.tv"
minSdkVersion 23
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
ndk {
moduleName "libtunertvinput_jni"
}
}
sourceSets {
main {
res.srcDirs = ['src/main/res', 'src/main/usbtuner-res']
jni.srcDirs = []
}
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
debug {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile files('libs/exoplayer.jar')
compile project(':common')
compile 'com.android.support:palette-v7:+'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:+'
compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:+'
}

You can't import these because they have #SystemApi annotation. You can check this for the source code of TvContentRatingSystemInfo. I have also checked WatchedPrograms and it also has #SystemApi annotation. I have not checked the other three.
You need to be system app to access these. As you can see here, you need to push your app in the the \system\ folder. You can find detailed information about AOSP build system here.
Solution :
Changing your android.jar to the .jar in this github should enable you to access system API. The reason is your standard android.jar doesn't have system API. So you need to get framework.jar (by adb pull) from emulator and combine it with core.jar then you can have new android.jar which contains system API (system methods and classes are available in the framework.jar from emulator).
Moreover, you should push your apk to \system\priv-app\ folder to access some system API but I don't know why I can access system API without pushing my apk to \system\priv-app\ when I use .jar from that github account.
I feel like I don't write quite clearly but at least now you have more understandings of what you're facing.

android.media.tv and com.android.tv are part of Android SDK. So you don't need to include any additional libraries in gradle.build file.
Just make sure to:
Update your SDK tools to version 24.0.0 or higher
and
Update your SDK with Android 5.0 (API 21) or higher
Example,
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.tvapp"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
}

use this in your dependencies "com.android.support:support-media-compat:26.0.2"
and also use tool version "26.0.1"
compiled SDK version 26.

You can add dependencies in app level gradle.
compile 'com.google.android.libraries.tv:companionlibrary:0.1'

Cannot build a project in Android Studio

I am trying to import a project in Android Studio. This code supposedly works but I cannot seem to be able to build the project. This is the error that is produced when I am trying to build:
Error:Execution failed for task
':openCVLibrary2410:compileReleaseJava'.
Cannot find System Java Compiler. Ensure that you have installed a JDK (not just a JRE) and configured your JAVA_HOME system variable to
point to the according directory.
I have searched for a solution, but what I found was was either referring to eclipse or changing the jdk position for
File > other Settings > Default Project Structure
Which is not a valid solution for me because I checked my previous Android Studio Projects and all have the same position
This is the stacktrace:
* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':openCVLibrary2410:compileReleaseJava'.

While I was posting here the gradle files my eye caught something. I changed the build tools version from 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0' to 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2'and now it is building as it should

I had same problem, Here is problem on Java path. You can check you have set path of your java or JDK in system variable or not click Environment variable
Also check your Java JDK version.
Also this link have all details of How to set path.
I suggest to you can use this solution. It will be help to resolve your problem..

Android Studio Upgrade Broke the Build

I'm currently developing an app at my company, and making use of the AppCompatActivity activity. Upon researching another issue, I decided to update my Android Studio along with my build tools.
Now, my app crashes whenever it tries to load in any activity using AppCompatActivity on devices running Android 4.1.1 (which are the main devices we use). It works fine on 5.0 and 5.1.
Here is the error I am getting:
Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: File res/drawable/abc_ic_ab_back_material.xml from drawable resource ID #0x7f020016
This isn't the full error, but I cut out the uninteresting stuff (of course a bunch of classes have errors when you can't find a resource).
What drives me crazy is that when I go into the build/intermediates/res folder, I find all of the files that are supposed to be there.
Am I taking crazy pills?
Edit: The solution it points to is for vectorDrawables, not AppCompatActivity.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "gillis.kenny.cxsort"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "3.32"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile project(':library')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
}

can not resolve the symbol AppcomapatActivity

I am just starting to learn android and i just installed android studio on windows 10 pc. And the very first problem that I am facing is "can not resolve the symbol "AppCompatActivity". Here is my gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "quikkhome.com.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
}

there is problem
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '23.0.1'
you are added 2 time
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
remove one time may be its help you

I just fixed the problem (though I do not know how did it work). I just changed the API from 21 to 23 and then back to 21. It is working perfectly now.

Try looking at your xml layout files, make sure all are targeting the same API. Change them to what ever you are targeting if different, like API 23 for example. The latest API may not be working yet, like N preview for example. This can be done by clicking the 'design' tab at the bottom if you are looking at an xml layout. Look for the little android man with the number beside it, click it.
Now also make sure the same theme is selected for all layout files. For example you may be using AppTheme as the theme.
Last run 'clean project'. At the top click Build, in the drop down menu click Clean Project.

android studio build suddenly throws a lot of errors

I have been developing this android for some days now, and suddenly the application build has a lot of errors and doesn't run. First few errors are listed below
D:\somepath\someotherpath\app\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.android.support\appcompat-v7\21.0.3\res\values-v11\values.xml
Error:(50, 21) No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:actionModeShareDrawable'.
Error:(50, 21) No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:actionModeShareDrawable'.
Error:(50, 21) No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:actionModeShareDrawable'.
Error:(50, 21) No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:actionModeShareDrawable'.
A couple of things might have caused these errrors are listed below
I was attempting to speed up the Emulator by using Intel HAXM, and also use Genymotion. I can see changes in the dependencies of the build.gradle
build.gradle old
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 20
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "org.nirvanasoftware.donor_app"
minSdkVersion 8
targetSdkVersion 20
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:20.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:20.0.0'
}
**build.gradle New **
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 20
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "org.nirvanasoftware.donor_app"
minSdkVersion 8
targetSdkVersion 20
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.3'
}
Is the change in dependency causing build errors or something else.

In the dependencies you have used appcompat-v7:21.0.3 and support-v4:21.0.3
But your compileSdkVersion is 20 buildToolsVersion is "20.0.0"
As I know if you use compileSdkVersion 20 then you should use buildToolsVersion "20.0.0" and the version of support library should also be 20 not 21. If you want to use appcompat-v7:21.0.3' and support-v4:21.0.3' you must use compileSdkVersion 21 and buildToolsVersion 21.x.y (here x and y will be the number according to your build tools that you have installed on your computer)
I am not sure that all of your problems are caused for this. But if there is a problem in your gradle synchronization then suddenly you will have a lot of problems. So if you do not have errors other than your gradle build file then your problems should be removed.
My suggestion is if you want to use latest SDKs and Support libraries install the latest build tools and SDKs from the Android SDK Manager then use
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2" // your latest build tools
and dependencies like this
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.3'
}
Hope it will solve your problems. Happy coding :D
In addition: In the latest gradle version that is gradle-1.0.0 runProguard is a deprecated method. So instead of using it you must use minifyEnabled and update your gradle version to 1.0.0.
