cannot find symbol android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat

[Duskyman]

Hi!

First of all I want to thank you for creating this package! Today I went to work on my project using this package and suddenly the build on android started failing with this error:

> Task :react-native-shared-group-preferences:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac FAILED
/path/to/my/project/node_modules/react-native-shared-group-preferences/android/src/main/java/com/poppop/RNReactNativeSharedGroupPreferences/RNReactNativeSharedGroupPreferencesModule.java:12: error: cannot find symbol
import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;
                             ^
  symbol:   class ActivityCompat
  location: package android.support.v4.app
1 error

I found out, that after replacing
import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;
with
import androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat;
I am able to run the builds again. Can you have a look at this issue please?

Thanks!

@Duskyman not sure exactly as I write a lot more ObjC and JS than android/Java. This thread seems to have some suggestions:

jsierles/react-native-audio#335

@KjellConnelly Yeah, I got the solution exactly from there :D

jsierles/react-native-audio#335 (comment)

global search and replace "android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat" by "androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat"

I too don't write any android/Java,

I'm guessing either it's because using/not using androidX and having certain tools installed, or something with gradle build tools.
