ResultReceiver.send can only be called from same library group

Question

I have an IntentService that is using android.support.v4.os.ResultReceiver to pass data. In the IntentService, when I use ResultReceiver.send method to send the result back, Android Studio shows an error saying

ResultReceiver.send can only be called from same library group (groupId=com.android.support)

I get a similar message while calling the constructor of ResultReceiver. But the code runs even with this error. This started showing up after I upgraded support library version to 25.1.1.

What am I supposed to do to get around this?

That is because you need to extend this class. And in the new class, override the onReceiveResult() method. — zeekhuge, Mar 14 '17 at 13:32
@ZeekHuge that is exactly what I have done. But when I call the super constructor in my extended class's constructor, it shows the error. — kp91, Mar 15 '17 at 07:17

There are two separate versions of ResultReceiver. The support one defined in android.support.v4.os package has this issue.

For a quick fix, use the standard ResultReceiver defined in android.os package.

Why not support version? – Asif Mushtaq Jul 03 '17 at 16:31
I think it has not been added to support library yet. – Sahil Patel Jul 19 '17 at 09:36

I had the similar issue. You just need to update buildToolsVersion to '25.0.2' in build.gradle. After I updated error went away. clean n build.

I'm on buildToolsVersion "25.0.3" and I still get this issue. – marienke Jul 19 '17 at 13:57
