I’m under the impression that when the reader gets to page 136 (“View Data with the Database Inspector”), the code SHOULD be able to build without errors. Reasons for the assumption: The Database Inspector ISN’T appearing (as far as I can tell, in Arctic Fox, it was moved to the “App Inspection”…

Jeff, I think I got it. The book was written against Room 2.3.0-beta01 which doesn’t play nice with Kotlin 1.5.30. If you upgrade your Room dependency to 2.3.0, it should work without trouble. Please let me know either way!

Hey Jeff, I’m looking through what you have here and I’m trying to figure out what’s going on. The first thing I want to hit are those five functions from PennyDropDao. All five are on pages 118 and 119 when we first create the abstract class. Are these the functions you’re referencing here? The …

The safest way to go ahead is to use the ones listed in the Gradle Dependencies appendix since those are what I used when writing the book. I can check later on Arctic Fox to see what it shows me for the Database Inspector and let you know what I find.

OK, I replaced both build.gradle files with the copies from chapter 5’s zipfile, replaced android-manifest.xml with the zipfile’s, deleted my day and night style.xml files that somehow ended up getting created along the way, and edited settings.gradle to comment-out the repositoriesMode.set() that w…

OK, it looks like the remaining errors were all typos and my fault: The call to PickPlayersFragment.findNavController().navigate(R.id.gameFragment) was in the wrong block A chunk of GameViewModel was missing Player.playerName was var, not val (probably didn’t matter) I also incremented t…
