k the problem was you can only access views in the layout that is setContentView(r.layout); while my view was in different layout but i need it in activitymain so i moved it there the problem now is my mainActivity is a framelayout and although i have it working it is at the top of the screen covering menus i need to set constraints to place it under another layout so how do you do that??


my activity_main.xml is



but everytime i go into gui it wont let me attach constraints i think cos it a framelayout it just places it at the top any hep would be great thanks

Hi i cant use the new logcat with latest studio and there is no option to go back to old one in exerimental so i downloaded old flamingo but when i open any project i get error

The project is using an incompatible version (AGP 8.1.4) of the Android Gradle plugin. Latest supported version is AGP 8.0.2
See Android Studio & AGP compatibility options.

but studio cant download it so how do i fix this as i cant stand the new one you cant even do printout of get errors it makes troubleshooting immpossible any help would be great thanks as atm i cant develop

Hi i am trying to add a external library to my project but cant seem to get it to work the library is

https://github.com/anandBrose/AmplitudeGraphView-Android

but cant get my project to recodnise it and cant figure wht i am doing wrong i have in gradle


and have both the folder and the folder converted in jar in lib folder of my project but cant seem to use it and have no idea why it wont work
i have allso trued this library by adding
implementation 'com.chibde:audiovisualizer:2.2.0'
whic the gradle synced ok but it is not available in my project it has been so long since i have used an external library if anyone could point out my stupidity i would be greatful thanks
