Unable to Integrate React-Native in Android App

Question

I have a android App which uses Webkit for rendering the Web Pages. I have Editor.html File (which is written in html, javascript and css). It uses the android webkit interface to communicate between JavaScript and the Native Code.

Now I want to use React-Native in my app for Communicating between Native code and Js code.

To integrate React-Native in my app, I am using this blog: Medium Blog for Integrating React Native

As I am adding below the code in the my build.gradle.

Code:

maven {
    url "<PATH TO YOUR ROOT DIRECTORY>/AwesomeApp/node_modules/react-native/android"
}

I am getting the following error.

Error:

No resource found that matches the given name (at 'layout_height' with value '@dimen/abc_action_bar_progress_bar_size').

Message{kind=ERROR, text=No resource found that matches the given name (at 'layout_height' with value 
'@dimen/abc_action_bar_progress_bar_size')., sources=[/Users/././android/app/src/main/res/layout/activity_add__audio.xml:18:32-71], original message=, tool name=Optional.of(AAPT)}

Due to this error, some values specified in the dimension file are not accessible to the layout file.

android/build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots'
        }
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1'
    }
}
allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com'
        }
        maven {
            url "/Users/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots'
        }
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
        mavenCentral()
    }
}


targetSdkVersion: 26

Can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

the dimension resource it cannot find: dimen/abc_action_bar_progress_bar_size hints for lacking a dependency ...because that's where it comes from:

// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.android.support/appcompat-v7
implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0"

or this one:

// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/androidx.appcompat/appcompat
implementation "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2"
