/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MaterialComponents.SmallComponent)

[carlosaoribeiro]

Hello everyone, good afternoon!

I'm having trouble running the app locally due to this style error, what do you usually do in this case?

Thank you very much.

(also known as org.oppia.android:style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MaterialComponents.SmallComponent) was not found.
error: failed linking references.

Hi @carlosaoribeiro, could you please share the stack trace and the proper steps to reproduce the issue you ran into? That would be great. Thanks!

Hi @manas-yu how are you today, thanks for replying!

I'm doing the build on a samsung android device

Task :app:processDebugResources FAILED

Hi @carlosaoribeiro,

From the stacktrace you shared:

Task :app:processDebugResources FAILED
AGPBI: {"kind":"error","text":"Android resource linking failed", ... }

…it appears that you're currently using Gradle to build the application. The presence of Task :app:processDebugResources and AGPBI logs typically indicates a Gradle-based build. Apologies if that's not the case, but if it is, I’d recommend following the contributor guide to set up and build the project using Bazel.

As for the specific issue:

error: resource style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MaterialComponents.SmallComponent not found.

This likely means the style you're referencing isn't available. If you're trying to use this style directly and it's not found, you can define a custom shape appearance instead, similar to how @style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.RoundedShape is defined in the project.

Let me know if you make any progress or need anything, Thanks!
