I have been using android support v4 23.1.1 and recently tried to update it to 23.3.0 ( the latest one when this was asked) but I got the following error:
It was solved after adding the last line:
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.0'
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'
compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:27.1.1'}
