Libgdx android studio - cannot resolve drawMultiLine method and HAlignment character
I ran into this error in android studio and libgdx when trying to build / run:
Error: (118, 79) Gradle: error: Cannot find symbolic variable HAlignment
And android studio also marks "drawMultiLine" and "HAlignment" as red word in the source java class:
"Cannot resolve method" DrawMultiLine (com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.SpriteBatch, java.lang.String, float, float, int ,?) "" Cannot resolve HAlignment character "
Code block:
private void renderGuiGameOverMessage (SpriteBatch batch)
{
float x = cameraGUI.viewportWidth / 2;
float y = cameraGUI.viewportHeight / 2;
if (worldController.isGameOver())
{
BitmapFont fontGameOver = Assets.instance.fonts.defaultBig;
fontGameOver.setColor(1, 0.75f, 0.25f, 1);
fontGameOver.drawMultiLine(batch, "GAME OVER", x, y, 0, BitmapFont.HAlignment.CENTER);
fontGameOver.setColor(1, 1, 1, 1);
}
}
Why doesn't he find a method? How can I solve this?
Thank you so much!

Try the following:
fontGameOver.drawMultiLine(batch, "GAME OVER", x, y, 0, Align.center);
instead:
fontGameOver.drawMultiLine(batch, "GAME OVER", x, y, 0, BitmapFont.HAlignment.CENTER);
Please note that you need to import com.badlogic.gdx.utils.Align
now.
Judging by the bitmapfont refactoring post from the badlogicgames blog , this should work for you. Especially it concerns:
BitmapFont.Alignment is gone. Align is used instead. The alignment has been moved to the utils package.
