name: autofix-java-import description: Fixes Java 'cannot find symbol' errors by adding import statements or library dependencies.

Java Import Skill

Fixes Java compilation errors related to missing classes or packages.

Detection Patterns

• error: cannot find symbol + symbol: class X
• error: package X does not exist
• error: cannot access X

Strategy

1. Extract Symbol: Get the missing class or package name.
2. Find Package: Determine the full qualified name.
3. Add Import: Insert import statement after package declaration.
4. Add Dependency (if needed): Update build file with library.

Instructions

Step 1: Parse the Error

Extract class name or package from error message.

Step 2: Common Android/Java Mappings

Step 3: Add Import Statement

Insert after the package declaration:

Copypackage com.example.myapp;

import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;  // ADD THIS

public class MainActivity {

Step 4: Add Dependency (if external library)

In Android.bp:

Copystatic_libs: [
    "androidx.recyclerview_recyclerview",
],

In build.gradle:

Copyimplementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.2.1'
