How to add cardview in layout xml in AndroidX

After upgraded to AndroidX

Answer 1

I think the Best Approach should be like, understanding the problem statement first.

Scenario:

• Search for the library which Google Inc has changed for "AndroidX" and include in project

Solution :

Go to Artifact Mappings page of Android Developer Site and Search for your desired library.



Now go to AndroidX Releases page and check for the current version number



now go to build.gradle[module.app] add the library you want. (ie. CardView in my case) and press
Sync Now and necessary files will be added to your project by gradle.

See the image below:



Now in xml file you should get CardView or something you have just imported.
