I know, androidx and support dependency causing multidex error We can not use androidx and android support at a same time. So I totally migrate to androidx. but one of my dependency lib used android support "lottie".
What can we do in above situation? Should I remove 'lottie' from my project.
below is my gradle
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 19
targetSdkVersion 28
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
multiDexEnabled true
}
ext{
lottieVersion = "2.5.4"
}
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
def androidx = "1.0.0-rc01"
api "androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.2"
api "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:$androidx"
api "androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:$androidx"
api "androidx.cardview:cardview:$androidx"
api "androidx.core:core-ktx:$androidx"
api "com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0-rc01"
implementation "com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5"
implementation "androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.0"
implementation "com.airbnb.android:lottie:$lottieVersion"
}

Comment This Line in gradle.properties
android.useAndroidX=true
I added below two lines in gradle.properties file
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
then I got the following error
error: package android.support.v7.app does not exist
import android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog;
^
I have removed the imports and added below line
import static android.app.AlertDialog.*;
And the classes which are extended from AppCompactActivity, added the below line. (For these errors you just need to press alt+enter in android studio which will import the correct library for you. Like this you can resolve all the errors)
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
In your xml file if you have used any
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
replace it with androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
then in your java code
import androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar;
Add the lines in the gradle.properties file
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
I used these two lines of code in application tag in manifest.xml and it worked.
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
android:appComponentFactory="whateverString"

Manually adding android.useAndroidX=true
and android.enableJetifier=true
giving me hard time. Because it's throw some error or Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"' to <application>
To Enable Jet-fire in project there is option in android Studio
Select Your Project ---> Right Click
app----> Refactor ----> Migrate to AndroidX
Shown in below image:-
After click on Migrate to AndroidX.
It will ask for confirmation and back up for your project.
And last step it will ask you for to do refactor.
After doing Refactor check your gradle.properties have android.useAndroidX=true
and android.enableJetifier=true
. If they are not then add these two lines to your gradle.properties file:
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
Note:- Upgrading using Android Studio, this option works if you have android studio 3.2 and onward. Check this
You need not to worry
Just enable Jetifier in your projet.
Open gradle.properties
and add below two lines.
android.enableJetifier=true
android.useAndroidX=true
It will convert all support libraries of your dependency to AndroidX at run time (you may have compile time errors, but app will run).
I had a problem like this before, it was the gradle.properties file doesn't exist, only the gradle.properties.txt , so i went to my project folder and i copied & pasted the gradle.properties.txt file but without .txt extension then it finally worked.
If your project is not AndroidX (mean Appcompat) and got this error, try to downgrade dependencies versions that triggers this error, in my case play-services-location ("implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:17.0.0'") , I solved the problem by downgrading to com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.0.0'
