How to solve java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: No field Companion of type Landroidx/compose/runtime/SlotTable$Companion?

Question

I am getting this error multiple times in all my Jetpack compose projects. Is this error an issue related to the Gradle? Because I have not changed anything to the Theme.

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: No field Companion of type Landroidx/compose/runtime/SlotTable$Companion; in class Landroidx/compose/runtime/SlotTable; or its superclasses (declaration of 'androidx.compose.runtime.SlotTable' appears in /data/app/~~-cK_xmGsJokhf6B_7aQseg==/com.swetajain.library-CN37OSea3A4uAWXYCBb63w==/base.apk)

app.build.gradle

Are you using the latest version of Android Studio Canary & Compose? — Abdelilah El Aissaoui, Dec 05 '20 at 20:23
did you tried by changing version of composer `1.0.0-alpha04` to `1.0.0-alpha08` — Wini, Dec 07 '20 at 07:35
is this initially when you started a new project or did you add anything else? Also update as Wini said — Peter Haddad, Dec 07 '20 at 08:17
Pretty sure only Compose `1.0.0-alpha08` is compatible with Kotlin `1.4.20` — Aystub, Dec 09 '20 at 20:39
@PeterHaddad It happens when I try to add a dependency in the build.gradle, like when I try to add the dependency for Coil Image — Sweta Jain, Dec 10 '20 at 11:03
@Wini IDE did not prompt me for the 1.0.0-alpha08, it prompts for 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT, why is that so ? — Sweta Jain, Dec 10 '20 at 11:06
@SwetaJain i just addded your whole gradle in my project well it does prompt me `A newer version of androidx.compose.ui:ui than 1.0.0-alpha07 is available: 1.0.0-alpha08` — Wini, Dec 10 '20 at 11:32
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 # org.gradle.parallel=true android.useAndroidX=true kotlin.code.style=official — Sweta Jain, Feb 17 '21 at 12:59

Try to update your compose version to the latest if you see such error. java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: No field Companion of type Landroidx/compose/foundation/layout/BoxScope$Companion;

If you use binding and change component from XML for example if you add Button after that changed to EditText It will through that exception. Just you need to do rebuild.

I had a similar issue, but after updating all AndroidX libraries to the latest, the issue was gone.
