Class 'action' is not abstract and does not implement abstract member public abstract val actionId: Int defined in androidx.navigation.NavDirections

Issue

I used version 2.4.0-alpha04 to conveniently use multi-backstack of navigation. (develop docs)

But I got the following error:

Class 'ActionDialogToWriteRoutine' is not abstract and does not implement abstract member public abstract val actionId: Int defined in androidx.navigation.NavDirections

I first searched here to fix the error and found the question with the same error. (here)

I saw an answer in that link saying that the bug was fixed starting with v2.4.0-alpha02.

But I still get the same error.

So I'm posting the question again according to my situation.

What happened?

build.gradle[app]

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'kotlin-android'
    id 'kotlin-kapt'

    // safe args
    id 'androidx.navigation.safeargs.kotlin'
}

dependencies {
    def lifecycle_version = "2.3.1"
    def nav_version = "2.4.0-alpha04"

    // AAC
    implementation("androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.3.4")

    // Navigation Component
    implementation "androidx.navigation:navigation-fragment-ktx:$nav_version"
    implementation "androidx.navigation:navigation-ui-ktx:$nav_version"

}

nav_graph.xml

<navigation xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/nav_graph"
    app:startDestination="@id/calendar">

    <include app:graph="@navigation/calendar"/>
    <include app:graph="@navigation/list"/>
    <include app:graph="@navigation/write_home"/>
</navigation>

Solution

in your app level build.gradle file replace

plugins {
    id 'androidx.navigation.safeargs.kotlin'
}

with

plugins {
    id 'androidx.navigation.safeargs'
}
