Answer 1

I have been struggling with this problem for 2 days. And tried all options. Finally noticed that after updating my android studio, it was not showing me the compile errors like @v.d. wrote above. My problem was, In my build files, I was using compile(which should be replaced with implementation or api) and testcompile(which also replaced by testimplementation). Notice that I have changed in whole build files(android, app and others - in my case I also had folding-cell library)

for example instead of this

compile project(path: ':folding-cell')

write this

implementation project(path: ':folding-cell')
