I'm refactoring an app to use androidx. I have struggled to get rid of all the libraries that do not support it. I thought I had removed all the libraries that use the support libraries but it looks like there is still something that is importing it. I now get the error:

The question is: is there a way for me to know which dependency is importing the support library apart from checking the build.gradle:

You can use ./gradlew tasks --all to find out which tasks you have. Among them there will be something like yourproject:dependencies, which you can run to get dependency tree like this: ./gradlew yourproject:dependencies Can you find from where you get that support-v4 library? I'm struggling with "cannot find support-v4-1.0.0-alpha1.aar"ProdoElmit

I have very similar problem and in my case solution is add in gradle.properties this two lines:

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

I hope it will help.

Try to MIGRATE to ANDROIDX from the following path in Android Studio:

I got the same issue while adding,

dataBinding {
    enabled = true
}

in app.gradle module. My gradle dependency is as:

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0-alpha3'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.2'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0-alpha3'

When I changed to,

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-alpha3'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.2'

I could get rid out of the error while running the project.

just marge dependency on AndroidX Library.

Example: app/build.gradle:

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0'

to:

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0'
implementation 'androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0'

Than rebuild again, shows many errors. just comment out these old libraries. re-import android x library package. Example below: enter image description here

enter image description here

Marge AndroidX: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate

I hope to solve your problem.

I think the problem is due to conflicting dependencies. In my case, the problem went away when I removed androidx dependency.

From:

dependencies { implementation "androidx.work:work-runtime:2.1.0" }
