cannot override getUseDeveloperSupport() as protected

[lc3t35]

When I execute : npm run run:android, I have this error

/***/lottie-react-native/example/android/app/src/main/java/com/example/MainApplication.java:21: error: getUseDeveloperSupport() in <anonymous com.example.MainApplication$1> cannot override getUseDeveloperSupport() in ReactNativeHost
    protected boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {

Changing "protected" to "public" corrects the issue.

change protected to public

[the-simian]

to be more specific:
in your MainApplication.java file,
public boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() { <-----

that got it building for me, at least

@zhaojiakang917 @the-simian thanks but did you read the end of my post : "Changing "protected" to "public" corrects the issue" ;) Maybe I should have submitted a PR that would be more visible ;)

Indeed, in a recent version the method changed from protected to public: facebook/react-native#11329

Changing 'protected' to 'public' works. 💯

You should remove node_modules and re-install again

Changing private to public saved my life. Thank you guys, I don't know java I am working in react native!
