Frankly speaking, I don't have the knowledge to understand and debug this error. So please inform me if I miss something.

How am I getting to this error:

1. I wanted to work with compose and see the preview in preview window
2. I created a new android studio project with empty compose activity
3. The build was successful but the preview isn't loading. It is just showing "build and refresh" button there.
4. When I click on the "build and refresh" button android studio starts the build process again and fails with the following message:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. 

What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugKotlin'.
> Compilation error. See log for more details

on seeing the logs, it still doesn't give me any concrete idea of the problem:

Runtime JAR files in the classpath should have the same version. These files were found in the classpath:

and my project level build.gradle file is:

buildscript {
    ext {
        compose_version = '1.1.0'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir

I don't know how much and how relevant is the information above, but I can add more if required.

CodePudding user response：

In project level gradle change kotlin version for compatibility with compose 1.1.0

classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.10"

Check this version compatibility
