I am getting following error while running application

java.lang.RuntimeException: cannot find implementation for com.abc.db.abdDB. abcDB_Impl does not exist

My build.gradle has following configuration:

implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:2.0.0-alpha1"
annotationProcessor "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-compiler:2.0.0-alpha1"
implementation "androidx.room:room-runtime:2.0.0-alpha1"
annotationProcessor "androidx.room:room-compiler:2.0.0-alpha1"

My Database class:

fun getDatabase(context: Context): abcDB? {
        if (dbInstance == null) {
            synchronized(abcDB::class.java) {
                if (dbInstance == null) {
                    dbInstance = Room.databaseBuilder(context.applicationContext,
                            abcDB::class.java, "abc_db")
                            .fallbackToDestructiveMigration()
                            .addCallback(sRoomDatabaseCallback)
                            .build()
                }
            }
        }
        return dbInstance
    }

Does anyone try to use androidX API? Can someone help to find solution for this?

If you use Kotlin, then you have to use kapt instead of annotationProcessor, and must also apply kotlin-kapt plugin.

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

dependencies {
    implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:2.0.0-alpha1"
    kapt "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-compiler:2.0.0-alpha1"
    implementation "androidx.room:room-runtime:2.0.0-alpha1"
    kapt "androidx.room:room-compiler:2.0.0-alpha1"
