Fresco: AnimatedImage not found

[ojhariddhish]

Description

I'm facing Java compilation error because it is unable to find AnimatedImage & AnimatedImageDecoder interfaces/classes. The issue occurs in WebPImage class. When I open the WebPImage class, it shows that the whole "base" package is missing. Weird part is it was working till yesterday and I've done no changes to the code or my system.

---This is the issue

---This is WebPImage class

I also tried to invalidate caches & restart option from Android Studio but it didn't work. I even created a new project and moved the code one-file-at-a-time to fix the issue, didn't work either.

Reproduction

Use the Fresco libraries (tried 1.9.0 to 1.11.0) in the Android project.
Try to initialize WebPImage.
Build the project.

Additional Information

• Android (minSdkVersion: 16, compileSdkVersion: 28)
• Fresco version: 1.11.0
• Fresco WebPSupport: 1.11.0
• Fresco Animated-WebP: 1.11.0
• Platform version: Android 5.1 (Moto G)
• Android Studio: 3.4 Canary 4
• Instant Run: Disabled
• Gradle: 3.4.0-alpha04 (com.android.tools.build)
• Gradle Wrapper: 5.0 milestone-1

Solution

In the project gradle file, changed the gradle version to:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'

And changed the gradle wrapper to:
gradle-4.10.1

After trial and error, I stumbled onto this configuration and it worked. I'm not sure why it didn't because it was working until yesterday evening with the gradle alpha versions.

Thanks for investigating @ojhariddhish. Looks like a bug in the Gradle version. Let us know if you experience this issue again.

Could you perhaps report this upstream at gradle/the gradle plugin, please?

Works with gradle 4.10.1and gradle plugin 3.3.1.
