                  + " Found:\n" + _existingTableStory);

if (! _infoTableStory.equals(_existingTableStory)) {
  return new RoomOpenHelper.ValidationResult(false, "table_story(com.dicoding.picodiploma.storyapp.homeStoryActivity.ListStoryItem).\n"
          + " Expected:\n" + _infoTableStory + "\n"

How to resolve the error?

Answer 1

File > Project Structure 
Set Source Compability = java 11 (or java >=8 )
Set Target Compability =java 11 ( or java >=8 )

The problem is due incompability between Android Studio (which build on java >= 8) with old java version (v8)
