Why doesn't Android Studio recognize Base64.encodeBase64?

I'm trying run the following code, however I cannot use encodeBase64().
I've already tried to import such libraries using Alt + Enter.

enter image description here

How can I make it work?

Ehy man Base64.encodeBase64 is not an Android SDK resource so you are not gonna be able to use it but you can actually use android.util.Base64

import android.util.Base64;

// Encoding
String originalData = "Hello, world!";
byte[] encodedBytes = Base64.encode(originalData.getBytes(), 
Base64.DEFAULT);
String encodedString = new String(encodedBytes, 
Charset.defaultCharset());

// Decoding
byte[] decodedBytes = Base64.decode(encodedBytes, Base64.DEFAULT);
String decodedString = new String(decodedBytes, 
Charset.defaultCharset());

You can use this code and it shoud work perfectly, in case you can check the documentation online: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/Base64

Base64.encodeBase64() 
public static byte[] encodeBase64(final byte[] binaryData)

You are using https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-codec/apidocs/org/apache/commons/codec/binary/Base64.html, not https://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/Base64

You could add the following dependency to make build pass like this: take Gradle for example.

// import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;
// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/commons-codec/commons-codec
implementation group: 'commons-codec', name: 'commons-codec', version: '1.10'

But I suggest you to use Android version since you are developing Android application since you are using Android Studio.

String data;

Base64.encodeToString(data.getByte("UTF-8"), Base64.DEFAULT);

public static String encodeToString(byte[] input, int flags);

use this:

String result = Base64.encodeToString(data, Base64.DEFAULT);

instead of what you are using, i also advise you to use: .getBytes("UTF-8"); instead of data.getBytes(); UTF-8 is always a better choice. hope this will help you.
