Important Update

Android support libraries will not be updated after 28.0.0. According to Support Library Release Notes -

This will be the last feature release under the android.support packaging, and developers are encouraged to migrate to AndroidX 1.0.0.

So use AndroidX support libraries instead. In your case design library is now available in material package.

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0' // instead of design
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2' // instead of support-v7
}

I have put latest versions in dependency, you can check latest version here at read time.

Use   implementation  com android support appcompat-v7 27 1 1    Don t use like   implementation  com android support appcompat-v7 27      It may give you an error and don t use an older version than this   or event don t do like this  implementation  com android support appcompat-v7 27 1 1  implementation  com android support design 27 1 1     etc    numbers of libraries and then   implementation  com android support appcompat-v7 27      the same library but it has a different version  it can give you an error

As android latest update doesn t support  compile  keyword use  implementation  in place inside your module build gradle file   And check thoroughly in build gradle for dependancy with   sign like this   implementation  com android support support-v4 28      If there are any dependencies like this  just update them with a specific version  After that    Sync gradle  Clean your project  Rebuild the project

Your build script should match with application build gradle dependencies   ext           buildToolsVersion    27 0 3          minSdkVersion   16         compileSdkVersion   27         targetSdkVersion   26         supportLibVersion    27 1 1          dependencies                                                      implementation  com android support support-v4 27 1 0      implementation  com android support design 27 1 0                                           if you want to downgrade dependencies then also downgrade supportLibVersion and buildToolsVersion

I downgrade the support   previously it was implementation  com android support appcompat-v7 27 0 2    Use it  implementation  com android support appcompat-v7 27 1 0   implementation  com android support design 27 1 0    Its Working Happy Codng

I know it s a late answer but I had the same problem and my solution was just adding implementation  com android support design 28 0 0 or any above support design libraries

I m using android studio 3 0  and i upgrade the design pattern dependency from 26 0 1 to 27 1 1 and the error is gone now   Add Following in gradle implementation  com android support design 27 1 1

Changed all dependencies to compile rather than implementation  then I rebuild the project without errors  Then I switched back to implementation rather than leaving it as compile

User · Answer

It worked when I downgrade the support appcompat gradle dependency  like follwing    implementation  com android support appcompat-v7 27 0 2    previously it was       implementation  com android support appcompat-v7 27 1 0    OR  Also this can be fixed by just adding support design dependency of version 27 1 0 or above to your app level build gradle as following     implementation  com android support design 27 1 0

User · Answer

The solution for this is that remove this following dependency   implementation  com android support design 26 1 0    put general dependencies as   dependencies       implementation fileTree include      jar    dir   libs         noinspection GradleCompatible     implementation  com android support appcompat-v7 27 1 1      implementation  com android support support-compat 26 1 0      implementation  com android support multidex 1 0 3          implementation  com android support support-v4 26 1 0      testImplementation  junit junit 4 12      androidTestImplementation  com android support test runner 1 0 2      androidTestImplementation  com android support test espresso espresso-core 3 0 2      implementation  com facebook android audience-network-sdk 4 99 1

I also faced same problem  But then I realised that the versions I am using of support libraries was not same   Once I made it same  the error gone   In your case   implementation  com android support appcompat-v7 27 1 0  implementation  com android support design 27 0 2    are not same  so you just downgraded appcompat to   implementation  com android support appcompat-v7 27 0 2    hence  your problem solved   But you could also have solved if you could have upgraded support design version to  implementation  com android support design 27 1 0

User · Answer

I faced the same problem   I added android support design dependencies to the app level build gradle  Add following   implementation  com android support design 27 1 0    in build gradle  Now its working for me

It might be cause of a library  I faced it because of Glide   It was  implementation  com github bumptech glide glide 4 7 1    So I added exclude group   com android support  And it becomes  implementation   com github bumptech glide glide 4 7 1             exclude group   com android support

Go to the directory where you put additional libraries and delete duplicated libraries

This can happens when one library is loaded into gradle several times  Most often through other connected libraries   Remove a implementation this library in build gradle   Then Build -  Clear project  and you can run the assembly

User · Answer

Make sure these two are the same version in your app level build gradle file      implementation  com android support appcompat-v7 27 1 1      implementation  com android support design 27 1 1    I think that should solve the problem

Program type already exists  Remove your  build directory contents  it has some Dex    problem with the generated binary files  Got to those answers just like you  they helped to resolve this problem but created many others  Build contents removal works for all
