Hi Anyone here facing the problem where the kotlinx syntheti kotlinlang #android

Hi. Anyone here facing the problem where the kotlinx synthetic references frequently become unresolvable in Android Studio 3.1.2? I find myself having to click sync gradle every now & then. Also happens to my team members.

Using kotlin 1.2.41

I'd like to know if there's a temporary fix we can use & if a permanent fix is on the way.

I've had this - usually happens if I did a

clean

or a

Build > Rebuild

. Only option then is to do sync. I believe it's partially a limitation of Android Gradle (you're clearing the generated IDs and a sync rebuilds them)

More specifically I think it's the task

generateDebugResValues

that generates them (which is run when you sync)

There were a lot of changes to Android Gradle at 3.1 (a lot of lazy initialization and resolution was added I believe)

For memory there is a bug on youtrack about it

Yea it's quite annoying lol I think it's also somewhat related to Gradle's configure on demand aspect or something (it's all about the "only run what needs to be run" kind of thing)

Found it! https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/78547457 Now..just waiting..

Apparently it will always happen if you run gradle tasks from cmd line..
