I'm trying out AS flamingo and updated to AGP 8.0.0-beta01 . now I have to use the correct import for the R class when a resource is in a different module. is this intended? normally, one can use the R of the current module and get access to all other resources in all other modules automatically.

it's now com.example.text.R.string. instead of R.string. (with import com.example.ui.R )

you can import multiple R classes at the same time, as long as you give them different aliases

import com.example.text.R as TextR
import com.example.ui.R

findViewById<TextView>(R.id.foo).text = getString(TextR.string.bar)

ah, perfect. there's a wizard for it (already did it manually across 800 files 😄)

THX!

[Simon Hardt]

what if the option is grayed out?

[ephemient]

I don't know, I migrated my codebase to non-transitive R classes years ago, without the wizard. but possibly it sees that the value is already set to true (by defaults changed in AGP 8.0) so there's nothing to migrate, maybe if it were explicitly false it would offer to run the wizard?

[Simon Hardt]

yes, that's it. setting android.nonTransitiveRClass=false enables this option
