Reference to "method" is ambiguous

Question

When calling Builder() I am given the error message:

Reference to 'Builder' is ambiguous, both 'androidx.camera.core.impl.UseCaseConfig.Builder' and 'androidx.camera.core.impl.ImageOutputConfig.Builder' match

The error is produced within the startCamera() function. How would I make sure the compiler knows to use the UseCaseConfig option? Any help is appreciated, thank you for your time and help.

                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
}

Try to rename the method name, maybe it is ambiguous with source code. — GHH, Feb 03 '20 at 02:33

First of all - what version of CameraX are you using? The latest(at the time of writing) is alpha09(core) in which you should build your preview like this:

Preview preview = new Preview.Builder().build();

You can then easily use whichever set methods in builder for your preview configuration. The google docs are not completely updated to newest version yet so you can use the forum for help.
