Updated SDK (from 23 to 24). Those Russian lines that are not from xml became Krakazyab, although everything was fine before the changes.

This is how build.gradle (module: app) looked like before the upgrade:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion "23.0.3" defaultConfig { applicationId "com.mypackage" minSdkVersion 10 targetSdkVersion 23 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } sourceSets { main { assets.srcDirs = ['src/main/assets', 'src/main/assets/'] } } } dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0' compile 'com.android.support:preference-v7:23.4.0' compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.4.0' compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.4.0' compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0' compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.4.0'}

Here is how it looks after the update:

 apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 24 buildToolsVersion "24.0.3" defaultConfig { applicationId "com.mypackage" minSdkVersion 10 targetSdkVersion 23 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" jackOptions { enabled true } } compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } sourceSets { main { assets.srcDirs = ['src/main/assets', 'src/main/assets/'] } } } dependencies { compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs') compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1' compile 'com.android.support:preference-v7:24.2.1' compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:24.2.1' compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:24.2.1' compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.1' compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:24.2.1' }

How to achieve normal letters without rollback to the old SDK and without including all the lines in xml?

    It helped to remove from the build.gradle any mention of java. That is, deleted the compileOptions section and the jackOptions . Now, as before - no krakozab.

    However, apparently, it will be impossible to use the possibilities of java 8. Maybe someone will offer a better option?

      Try the methods suggested here , here and here . And, of course, it is better not to use Cyrillic in the code, but to put it out in string.xml, later on, replace / fix it faster and do the localization.

      • Unfortunately, nothing helped. - iramm
