The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files android studio

Question

There are quite a few questions with the above error, but most of them are related to eclipse, for me it's happening in android studio and also for the project which was working fine till now.

My android project was working fine all the while, and then all of a sudden started getting this build error. Don't know where exactly is the issue, but I see some traces of greendao mentioned in the logs.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Task :driver_module:greendao FAILED Found 2 problem(s) parsing "/Users/../Code/MyApplication/driver_module/src/main/java/../sdk/MyEvents.java": #0 @1: The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files (ID: 16777540; error: true) #1 @1: The type java.lang.String cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files (ID: 16777540; error: true)

Edit : This is somewhat close I found, but this too didn't work for me. https://github.com/greenrobot/greenDAO/issues/931

In my case, I updated greendao-gradle-plugin 3.2.2 to 3.3.0,Then , It resolved magically.

Answer 2

Confirm what version of the JDK you have set in File > Project Structure > SDK Location. I had the same issue with the embedded JDK from Android Studio, but was able to build by using 1.8 JDK.
