In my case  I was having two different versions of the below implementation in two different modules  So i changed both implementation to versions ie   6 0 2 and it worked  You may also need to write dependency resolution see the accepted answer   app module  implementation  com karumi dexter 5 0 0    commons module  implementation  com karumi dexter 6 0 2

This worked for me   Add the follow line in app build gradle in dependencies section   implementation  com android support appcompat-v7 27 1 0    or  27 1 1 in my case

You should be able to see exactly which dependency is pulling in the odd version as a transitive dependency by running the correct gradle -q dependencies command for your project as described here   https   docs gradle org current userguide userguide single html sec listing dependencies  Once you track down what s pulling it in  you can add an exclude to that specific dependency in your gradle file with something like   implementation  XXXXX         exclude group   com android support   module   support-compat

See in your library projects make the compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion version to same level as your application is  android       compileSdkVersion 28      defaultConfig           consumerProguardFiles  proguard-rules txt          minSdkVersion 14         targetSdkVersion 28           also make all dependencies to same level

I had the same error  what solve my problem was  In my library instead of using compile or implementation i use  api   So in the end my dependencies   dependencies   api fileTree dir   libs   include      jar    api files  libs model jar   testApi  junit junit 4 12  api  com android support percent 26 0 0-beta2  api  com android support appcompat-v7 26 0 0-beta2  api  com android support support-core-utils 26 0 0-beta2   api  com squareup retrofit2 retrofit 2 0 2  api  com squareup picasso picasso 2 4 0  api  com squareup retrofit2 converter-gson 2 0 2  api  com squareup okhttp3 logging-interceptor 3 2 0  api  uk co chrisjenx calligraphy 2 2 0  api  com google code gson gson 2 2 4  api  com android support design 26 0 0-beta2  api  com github PhilJay MPAndroidChart v3 0 1      You can find more info about  api    implementation  in this link https   stackoverflow com a 44493379 3479489

I solved it by upgrading my gradle dependency in the android build gradle file  classpath  com android tools build gradle 3 3 1   I was previously on version 3 2

If anyone getting this dependency issue in 2019  update Android Studio to 3 4 or later

User · Answer

The answer for me was to also add this to my build gradle file   configurations all     resolutionStrategy eachDependency   details - gt        if  details requested group     com android support                 amp  amp   details requested name contains  multidex                 details useVersion  26 1 0                  In my case  it was nessisary to enclose the resolution strategy in a configurations all        block  I placed the configurations all block directly into my app build gradle file  ie configurations all was not nested in anything else

Use this code in your buildscript  build gradle root    subprojects     project configurations all        resolutionStrategy eachDependency   details - gt          if  details requested group     com android support                 amp  amp   details requested name contains  multidex                  details useVersion  version which should be used - in your case 26 0 0-beta2
