Android Studio throws build error in Kotlin project which calls static method in java interface

Question

I have a Kotlin project in Android Studio. I am calling a static method in Java interface from the Kotlin code. The build fails with the error,

Calls to static m         


        

Answer 1

I am able to resolve this by adding below block as my build.gradle is not in dsl. To set the target JVM version for the Kotlin compiler, use the following block:

tasks.withType(org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile).all {
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
}
