Build error with Android SDK 28 alpha

[jeroenbourgois]

I cannot get a working build, I get the following error:

:react-native-radar:processDebugAndroidTestResources
ERROR: In <declare-styleable> FontFamilyFont, unable to find attribute android:fontVariationSettings
ERROR: In <declare-styleable> FontFamilyFont, unable to find attribute android:ttcIndex

I looked around on the net, seems to be related to a new build Android support lib version (?) that was released this month. I tried several solutions but it keeps failing. The most notable solution should be to add this in the build.gradle

configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.force 'com.android.support:support-v4:26+'
}

But no success...

[russellcullen]

Do you mind posting the build.gradle you have for react-native-radar and your android project?

[christocracy]

I suggest you go gather data in a long field-test of 1km or more.

[jeroenbourgois]

@christocracy ?
@coolbrow my build.gradle and app/build.gradle below, slightly modified to reduce length. What I left out is just the build stuff that is generated by RN.

build.gradle:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

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

        // React Native will eventually add this to their app template.

Thanks @jeroenbourgois, this is really helpful.

There is another build.gradle in the react-native-radar module (should be in node_modules where the other react-native libraries are).

In that file, you may have to explicitly exclude the support library transitive dependency like so:

compile('com.onradar:sdk:1.3.+') {
  exclude module: 'support-v4'
}

Or alternatively (and preferred), you can change your project's build.gradle:

compile(project(':react-native-radar')) {
  exclude module: 'support-v4'
}

This way, radar will be using the support library version you already have as a dependency and there shouldn't be any conflicts. Sorry about the conflicts, we're working to ensure this doesn't happen in future releases.

[christocracy]

@coolbrow You can improve Radar Labs' integration with others by implementing "Gradle Configuration Properties" instead of hard-coding versions.

See my merged pull-request at react-native-maps for implementation details.

[russellcullen]

@christocracy Thanks, great idea! We actually do this internally but haven't changed this project yet. Will be updated very soon!

[christocracy]

@coolbrow While I have you here, could you please let the Radar Labs marketing people know the following:

Feature	React Native Background Geolocation
iOS SDK	YES background-geolocation-lt
Android SDK	YES background-geolocation-lt
Stop detection	YES motionchange

[jeroenbourgois]

@christocracy ah I see :) We are looking into alternatives to your library - which we bought a license for - because the notification on Android is blocking to our client. And while chatting with the Radar people they assured me that there was no tracking mention on Android O and the was accurate tracking none the less. So I want to try it out, but building fails for now. I am also trying a regular fetch with react-native-background-fetch but I fail to do a HTTP POST from within the headless task, which is the only thing I want to do, send the location to a server somewhere.

[christocracy]

@jeroenbourgois Yes, you can do an HTTP POST in react-native-background-fetch HeadlessTask but you have to await it, as documented.

[nickpatrick]

Hey @jeroenbourgois, we're happy to help troubleshoot Radar over email at support@radar.io. Closing this issue for now. Thanks!
