## Troubleshooting 🤔
If you encounter any issues while setting up or using NextGen, try the following troubleshooting tips.
### 1. Build Fails with Gradle Errors
- **Issue:** Errors related to Gradle during the build process.
- **Solution:** Ensure you have the correct version of Gradle and Android Studio installed. Check the `build.gradle` files to verify dependencies are compatible.
**Additional Tip from #75:**
- **Issue:** Incompatible Java version settings causing errors such as `kaptGenerateStubsDebugKotlin` task failures.
- **Solution:** Make sure `JAVA_HOME` is set to JDK 17 in the environment variables. In the `build.gradle` files, specify:
```gradle
android {
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
kotlinOptions {
jvmTarget = "1.8"
}
}
```
### 2. Missing SDK Components
- **Issue:** Build failure due to missing SDK components.
- **Solution:** Check for required packages using the SDK Manager in Android Studio and install any missing dependencies.
### 3. Dependency Conflicts
- **Issue:** Conflicts between libraries or dependencies causing build issues.
- **Solution:** Review the `build.gradle` files and check for any version conflicts. Updating the library versions to be compatible might solve the issue.
### 4. Insufficient Memory During Build
- **Issue:** Running out of memory while building the project.
- **Solution:** Increase the heap size in the `gradle.properties` file. Try allocating more memory to the Gradle build by updating:
```properties
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m
```
### 5. Clarification on SERVER_URL in secrets.properties from #47
**Issue:** Uncertainty about the value to use for SERVER_URL.
**Solution:** If you are not working on the video call feature, please add any random characters as a workaround (e.g., SERVER_URL=pbdwkw). This variable holds the video call server URL.
You can find the repository for reference [here](https://github.com/Vishwajith-Shettigar/video-call-server-node.js).
## TODO 📝
- [ ] Enhance UX of video call feature.
- [ ] Notification UI.
- [ ] Improve UI/UX.
- [ ] Fix crashing when user swtiches to light/dark mode.
