Chapter 3 - Creating an Example Android App in Android Studio

The Patch 1 update to Android Studio Electric Eel introduced a change that will cause the AndroidSample project to fail to compile with the following message:

The 'kotlin-android-extensions' Gradle plugin is no longer supported.

To avoid this problem, locate the Gradle Scripts -> build.gradle (Project: AndroidSample) file and change the org.jetbrains.kotlin.android version to version 1.7.21 as follows:

id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.7.21' apply false

Once this change has been made, click on the Sync Now link at the top of the editor panel.

This is the the only chapter where this change will be necessary.

4.9 AVD Command-line Creation

This section refers to the ComposeDemo project. This should refer to the AndroidSample project.
