Configuring Build Settings

Configure your Android project build settings by adding the Maven repository and enabling Java 8.

Add Maven Repository

Add mavenCentral() repository in the project-level build.gradle file.

Groovy

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}
allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

Enable Java 8

The SDK is target and source compatible with version 8 of the Java Programming Language. Enable Java 8 in the application build.gradle(.kts) if not done already.

build.gradle

android {
  ...
  compileOptions {
     sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
     targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  }
  kotlinOptions {
     jvmTarget = '1.8'
  }
}

android {
  ...
  compileOptions {
     sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
     targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  }
  kotlinOptions {
     jvmTarget = "1.8"
  }
}
