All com.android.support libraries must use the exact same version specification

Question

After updating to android studio 2.3 I got this error message. I know it\'s just a hint as the app run normally but it\'s really strange.

All com.andr

Answer 1

The best way to solve the problem is implement all 'com.android.support:...' suggested by Android Studio

(Doesn't matter which support versions you are using – 27.1.1, 28.0.0 etc.)

Place the cursor to the error line e.g.

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

Android Studio will suggest you which 'com.android.support:...' is different version than 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'

Example

All com.android.support libraries must use the exact same version specification (mixing versions can lead to runtime crashes). Found versions 28.0.0, 27.1.0, 27.0.2. Examples include com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:28.0.0 and com.android.support:exifinterface:27.1.0

So add com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:28.0.0 & com.android.support:exifinterface:28.0.0. Now sync gradle file.

One by one try to implement all the suggested 'com.android.support:...' until there is no error in this line implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'

In my case, I added

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

implementation 'com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:exifinterface:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:customtabs:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-media-compat:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0'

All these dependencies, it could be different for you.
