Android Studio: An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.8.0_242-release)

Question

While running app, unable to complete compilation. Keep throwing error. I installed jdk and added java_home path, but still get this error. Also, I havent any issue when i write flutter doctor -v

Please file a bug against the Java compiler via the Java bug reporting page (http://bugreport.java.com) after checking the Bug Database (http://bugs.java.com) for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you. java.lang.AssertionError: annotationType(): unrecognized Attribute name MODULE

P.S : I resolved the problem updating the flutter and android studio to the latest version.

Answer 1

For me this error came up after downloading JDK 11 and upgrading flutter.

First start by following the instructions at https://stackoverflow.com/a/76172567/840958.

If that doesn't work, here's what fixed this error for me:

1. Download JDK v11 from https://www.openlogic.com/openjdk-downloads and install is. Then make sure you set these configurations:

• In android/build.gradle under buildscript set

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.7.10'
    ...
}

• Also in android/build.gradle, update the dependencies to

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.2'
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    ...
}

• In android/app/build.gradle update the dependencies to

dependencies {
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
    ...
}

• Also in android/app/build.gradle, under android update the compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion as such:

android {
    compileSdkVersion flutter.compileSdkVersion
    ...
}

defaultConfig {
    targetSdkVersion flutter.targetSdkVersion
    ...
}

• Also in android/app/build.gradle, add or update:

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    ...
}

and

kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = '1.8'
}

2. Set the JDK gradle will use in the Flutter app by following the instructions at https://stackoverflow.com/a/76172567/840958.

3. In build.gradle I had code under 'repositories' that was binding to an earlier version of gradle, which I had to remove:

   allprojects {
       repositories {
         ...
         tasks.withType(JavaCompile).configureEach {
            javaCompiler = javaToolchains.compilerFor {
               languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(8)
            }
          }
       }
   }
   

4. Remove all references to repositories that are using older versions of gradle:

jcenter()

and

maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }

5. From gradle.properties remove (if it exists):

android.enableR8=true

6. From app/build.gradle remove (if it exists):

useProguard true

and

apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

Answer 2

It depends on Gradle and versioning

You can follow these steps:

1. update your distributionUrl in android\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.7.1-all.zip

2. change your minSdkVersion to 21 in android\app\build.gradle

3. add or update dependencies in buildscript to classpath com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3 in android\build.gradle

After that run flutter clean; than run again

Answer 3

In the file android/app/build.gradle, and precisely after the android line adding the two lines as shown in this picture fixed the problem for me

compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '1.8'
    }

Answer 4

Got the same problem after upgrading the compileSdkVersion to 31. Update the java version to 11 fixed this issue.

In Android Studio, go to Preference -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle -> Gradle JDK dropdown menu -> Select Download JDK

Download jdk 11 from there and set the Gradle JDK to the jdk 11 you just download.

You might want to also set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to point to the java 11 as well. For Mac, add the following line in the ~/.bash_profile file and then restart the command line. Assuming the java 11 is installed at /Users/yourname/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/corretto-11.0.15/Contents/Home

export JAVA_HOME=/Users/yourname/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/corretto-11.0.15/Contents/Home

Then run the following to check the java version

java -version

And it will print the following if it is java 11.

openjdk version "11.0.15" 2022-04-19 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-11.0.15.9.1 (build 11.0.15+9-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-11.0.15.9.1 (build 11.0.15+9-LTS, mixed mode)

Answer 5

I uninstalled Android Studio Preview and decided to go for the stable version at https://developer.android.com/studio. And this time it worked!.

Please try these steps http://blog.wafrat.com/fixing-an-exception-has-occurred-in-the-compiler-1-8-0_242-release/

Answer 6

Try this:

  android {
    kotlinOptions {
        //jvmTarget = '1.8'
        jvmTarget = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
    }
  }   

It works for me.

Answer 7

I've faced the same problem while creating appbundle and there is no problem with the iOS build. In my case, it has been fixed by updating the flutter and android studio to the latest version. Hope be helpful for you too.
