Cannot Install react-native Nativebase: Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'

Question

I am experiencing the following problem when trying to install NativeBase for my React Native project on Windows 10

react-native init RNapp cd RNapp
npm install native-base --save
react-native link react-native-vector-icons
Edit android/app/build.gradle and add the followingto the end of file:
apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle"

Running echo %JAVA_HOME% gives C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_111

Now when I run

react-native run-android

the build fails with the following error. Is there a solution to this problem?

Also looks like a reported error, but hasn't been addressed on Github for a solution. github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/8902 — OneCricketeer

@cricket_007 I believe there must be many people who are using this without problem.... Any suggestions what changes should I make to the project, like moving back to a specific version of react-native etc... — Nyxynyx

I'm not sure. Haven't used that library. I would check which version your Gradle file is trying to use, then look at the github source code to see if those classes exist in the react native android code — OneCricketeer

Updated react-native-cli from 1.3.0 to 2.0.0, recreated react-native project. Everything works now.
