'java.lang.String' is deprecated in Android

Question

I have write simple TAG like this:

private static final String TAG = "MainActivity";

String is deprecated

Is there any alternative way available to use String?

String is not deprecated it can not probably its a Data Type not just some another class . add your code with question .. — SpiritCrusher

Wait, what? String is one of the most basic non-primitive data types in Java. Can you show a screenshot of what you're seeing in the IDE? I'm having a hard time believing that. — Michael Dodd

It's just some weird IDE problem: 'java.lang.String' is deprecated in Android Studio. — Markus Kauppinen

@MarkusKauppinen That's a really interesting question, shame it hasn't had an answer (and thus we can't flag as duplicate) — Michael Dodd

As per comment in this java-lang-string-is-deprecated-in-android-studio question,

Remove folder .AndroidStudioX.X in your User folder and Restart IDE.

NOTE: AndroidStudioX.X means if you are using Android Studio version 3.4 then .AndroidStudio3.4 will be there.

Path will be like Windows : C:\Users\<PCNAME>\.AndroidStudio3.4

Linux/Ubuntu : /home/yourname/.AndroidStudio3.4

Hope it will be helpful to you.
