Additional context

[ostue]

BetterPlayer doesnt currently support the newest gradle version. But you can quickly fix it yourself:

Go to your Pub/Cache folder where flutter caches your packages, look for betterplayer and the build.gradle file.

Then add:

namespace = "com.jhomlala.better_player"
right before
compileSdkVersion 31

full code example:

...

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

android {
    namespace = "com.jhomlala.better_player"
    compileSdkVersion 31

    compileOptions {
    ...

This should resovle the problem

I hope it'll be fixed in the next release. Thanks for all...

find the Pub/Cache file by this command :

sudo ~/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev

you can find better_player folder. find and update gradle

happy coding

@jhomlala Please fix this issue.
I believe this will not take too much time.

this solution is working as a quick fix, but every time I need to make changes after flutter clean

There even are multiple outstanding PRs that implemented a fix already!

[istiaksaif]

use this in android/build.gradle
it worked in my project

subprojects {
    afterEvaluate { project ->
        if (project.hasProperty('android')) {
            project.android {
                if (namespace == null && project.name == "better_player") {
                    namespace 'com.jhomlala.better_player'
                }else if (namespace == null) {
                    namespace project.group
                }
            }
        }
        if (project.plugins.hasPlugin("com.android.application") ||
                project.plugins.hasPlugin("com.android.library")) {
            project.android {
                compileSdkVersion 34
            }
        }
    }
}

https://github.com/afrahshaikh/even_better_player i have fixed it here

[Abdul-rehman0045]

I am also getting the same I have fixed it by adding:

namespace = "com.jhomlala.better_player"

in the build.gradle file you can find it in:

.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/better_player-0.0.84

after adding it your code should be like this:

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

android {
namespace = "com.jhomlala.better_player"
compileSdkVersion 31

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = '1.8'
}

sourceSets {
    main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/kotlin'
}

defaultConfig {
    minSdkVersion 16
}
