'Android studio: cannot access MenuHost class file for androidx.core.view.MenuHost not found

I've got an error while building my project. This is my error message: cannot access MenuHost class file for androidx.core.view.MenuHost not found.

I didn't find any solution for this problem. I would be very happy if you could help me. I've got this error for an empty Activity:

import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

public class CallActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    /* Access modifiers changed, original: protected */
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView( R.layout.activity_call);
    }
}

This is my build.gradle (app):

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 30
    buildToolsVersion "30.0.3"


    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.ghostcontact"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 30
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"

        // Enabling multidex support.
        multiDexEnabled true


        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"


    }


    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

    configurations.all {

        resolutionStrategy {
            force 'androidx.core:core:1.6.0'
            force 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.6.0'
        }
        resolutionStrategy.force 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:2.0.1'

And my build.gradle (project)

        jcenter()

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.4'
        classpath  'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10'


        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven{url 'https://jitpack.io'}
        maven{url 'https://dl.bintray.com/tapsellorg/maven'}
        maven{url 'https://maven.google.com/'}
    }
}

    delete rootProject.buildDir

Solution 1:[1]

Had the same problem. Fixed the issue by removing this lines:

     configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.core:core:1.6.0' }
     }

under defaultConfig of build.gradle(:app)

I also do not know the source/reason behind the error as well.

Solution 2:[2]

I had exact same situation - changing "extends AppCompatActivity" to "extends Activity" fixed the issue.

Edit: I don't know the source/reason behind that error, sadly...

Solution 3:[3]

Just add in you dependencies:

implementation 'androidx.core:core:{latest version}' // 1.7.0 or above
