WordDao.java:21: error: Not sure how to handle query method's return type (java.lang.Object). DELETE query methods must either return void or int (the number of deleted rows). |
The solution: Set Kotlin version to 1.6.10 then Room to 2.4.2 (Or use more recent compatible versions) in my top-level build.gradle file. Reference: Android Room Kotlin throws Delete Query error
The problem is that this line of code is producing an error: And the error says: Type mismatch.Required:ActivityMainBindingFound:ViewDataBinding! The solution is to add a <layout> tag in the layout file that you are inflating!
The cause of error in Logcat: The fix was to add a startDestination to <navigation> tag in the nav_graph.xml.

I’m starting a new category on my blog — Dev Diary, to document some of the errors that I encounter and what I did to fix them. I’m doing this in hopes of helping developers (including my future self!) as they work with code (and to get more blog visits! LOL). It’s nice to save […]
Today I encountered a deprecation warning as I’m coding the app: ‘getter for position int’ is deprecated. deprecated in java And I was like, whoa, this wasn’t deprecated a couple of months back when I last touched Android code… this is how long I’ve missed out! 😂😂😂 I haven’t touched any app code for a […]
