I got this error (java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method getFont) while updating the latest Firebase

Question

Consider:

buildscript {

    repositories {
        apply plugin: 'announce'
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.1'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories
    {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven{ url "https://jitpack.io"}
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

App Gradle (maybe here is the cause of error)

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "chocolahat.softeng.sweetbitescafe"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
}

    implementation 'com.github.d-max:spots-dialog:0.7@aar'

}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

the MainActivity.java:18 line code is this setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

How can I solve this?

appears that you are using a custom text view and font path that you gave is invalid. — Jainam Jhaveri

API level 26 has come up with its default font attribute. And the same font attribute might have been defined in code as part of the custom font attribute.

Solution: change your custom font attribute name.

Like font to custom_font and use in XML files as custom_font:

The same changes will be applied in your Java code as well.
