I'm trying to use the ShowcaseView library, and for some reason after making the reference to this library, I'm getting a following undefined method errors:

The method getActionView(MenuItem) is undefined for the type MenuItemCompat 
The method build() is undefined for the type NotificationCompat.Builder

in my project. Those classes are part of the support-library-v4. As soon as I remove the referencing to this project from the: Properties->Library window, the errors go away.

Now I have to say that there is another project in my workspace that uses this library and working fine (The sample project of ShowcaseView), but my other project is not that lucky.

What could be the cause of that?

  • Looks like ShowcaseView also includes android-support-v4.jar, try to remove one of them. – ozbek Nov 15 '13 at 02:11

The comments were correct it was a jar mismatch, the reason why I didn't find it at first is because it wasn't a support-library-v4 mismatch but one of the another jar files the Showcase library is using, after removing those two:

mockito-all-1.9.5

and:

robolectric-2.2-20130909.210745-40-jar-with-dependencies

the problem disappeared.

I have no idea what they are for, but the library works without them.
