error: supertypes of the following classes cannot be resolved. Please make sure you have the required dependencies in the classpath

Question

I can\'t compile my Android Kotlin project.

I have no idea what is this...

Gradle log:

error: supertypes of the following classes ca

Answer 1

Before trying anything else, try: Android Studio -> File -> Invalidate cache/restart

This worked for me.

Answer 2

On my case I had to add the required dependency on my main module and compile the last version with:

android {
    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.force "com.squareup.picasso:picasso:${picassoVersion}"
    }
}

Answer 3

In my case, I had removed an unused OnFragmentInteractionListener in a fragment:

public interface OnFragmentInteractionListener {
    // TODO: Update argument type and name
    void onFragmentInteraction(Uri uri);
}

However, In my activity I had failed to remove a reference to this OnFragmentInteractionListener :

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements
        MyFragment.OnFragmentInteractionListener {

Strangely, instead of giving an error that indicated the OnFragmentInteractionListener was not found, I received the above "supertypes of the following classes cannot be resolved" with no reference to the classes.

I fixed it by changing the order of plugins call!

build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext.android_plugin_version = '2.3.3'
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.1.3-2'

    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()

        maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:$android_plugin_version"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-android-extensions:$kotlin_version"
        classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()

        maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }

Answer 5

Update your google play gradle version to the latest

Answer 6

In my case I had a library module with an abstract application class implementing Dagger's HasActivityInjector and an application module with a dependency to the library and its own (non-abstract) application class extending the base app class.

My Gradle dependencies were implementations, and therefore not accessible to the application module's application class (even though there were no imports there, otherwise the issue would be immediately obvious as you'd get a 'could not resolve' error. The fix was to replace dagger implementation dependencies with api, that makes them available to dependant modules as well.
