Class file for com.google.android.gms.internal.zzaja not found

I am using Fragment for the designing of the Firebase simple login registration.

I get error in the OnCreateView() method on initializing

auth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();

error:- Error:(58, 28) error: cannot access zzaja class file for com.google.android.gms.internal.zzaja not found please help source:- http://www.androidhive.info/2016/06/android-getting-started-firebase-simple-login-registration-auth/


I solved this exact problem today and stumbled onto this unanswered question by chance during the process.

First, ensure you've properly setup Firebase for Android as documented here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup. Then, make sure you are compiling the latest version of the Firebase APIs (9.2.0) and the Google Play Services APIs (9.2.0) that you are using. My gradle dependencies look something like this:

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.2.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.2.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.2.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.2.0'
}

Hope this helps!


I had such a similar error when i was recently upgrading my play service dependency. It seems to occur when you leave out updating the firebase dependencies that correspond to the version of play services you use. I beleive this is the most recent update of these dependencies

Here is what the two versions of my dependencies were:

Error version of dependencies

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.8.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.8.0'
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:1.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:9.8.0'

Working version of dependencies ``

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:10.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:10.0.0'
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:1.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:10.0.0'

`` Google seems to move play service updates along with firebase updates these days. Hopes this saves a few souls out there.


If you use different version of play services libraries, you will get this error.

For example, below entries in build.gradle file cause the error as versions are different.

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.4.2'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.6.0'

To fix the issue use same versions.

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.6.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.6.0'
