Nuget packages for android.arch.work:work-runtime & android.arch.work:work-firebase

BasilJohn

In my Android binding project, I want to use android.arch.work:work-runtime & android.arch.work:work-firebase packages. These packages are not present in the NuGet.
So I have included these as .jar files but I am getting a runtime exception as

"Didn't find class "androidx.work.R$bool" on path: DexPathList"

in the manifest file, I have added as

provider
android:name="androidx.work.impl.WorkManagerInitializer"
android:authorities="'MyApplicatonPackageName'.workmanager-init"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue please?
Many thanks

You can try to set the Linking option to None as follows. and then try again.

Hi @jezh
Thank you for checking the issue. I have changed the linking properties to None, but it didn't fix the issue.

Could you please share a basic demo?

Hi @jezh

Please find the attached GeneratedBindingInfo. text. I am trying to bind a third party SDK, they are used following libraries.

db-framework-1.1.1-rc1.aar,
db-1.1.1-rc1.aar,
work-firebase-1.0.0-alpha11.aar,
work-runtime-1.0.0-alpha11.aar,
runtime-1.1.1-rc1.aar

In the coming weekend, I will make a demo project.
Thank you

Hi @jezh

I have bind the WorkRuntime library, but now getting errors as

Error: error: package androidx.work.impl does not exist androidx.work.impl.ExecutionListener (TestApp.Android) javac
Error: error: package androidx.work.impl.background.systemalarm.SystemAlarmDispatcher does not exist
androidx.work.impl.background.systemalarm.SystemAlarmDispatcher.CommandsCompletedListener
(TestApp.Android) javac
Error: error: package androidx.work.impl.constraints does not exist androidx.work.impl.constraints.ConstraintListener
(TestApp.Android) javac

Has anyone tried using a Java dependency that uses the WorkManager for Xamarin Android?
