Added the desugaring dependency as instructed in these links:
- https://developer.android.com/studio/write/java11-nio-support-table
- https://developer.android.com/studio/write/java8-support#library-desugaring
I have added these in my app's build.gradle:
android {
defaultConfig {
// Required when setting minSdkVersion to 20 or lower
multiDexEnabled true
}
compileOptions {
// Flag to enable support for the new language APIs
coreLibraryDesugaringEnabled true
// Sets Java compatibility to Java 8
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}
dependencies {
coreLibraryDesugaring "com.android.tools:desugar_jdk_libs_nio:2.0.1"
}
Error
When I build the app, I'm getting these errors:

Any thoughts how I could work around this issue?
Update - 2023/Jun/2
I did not proceed into fixing this issue as my main issue was fixed. Below is a link to my main issue: Android App crashed with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: [Ljava/nio/file/LinkOption;
